It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel
New York, like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel
Soul love
Well, this love won`t let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
Birdland on 53
The street sounded like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles says she`s got to be
An angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Angel
Soul love
Well, this love won`t let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
Angel of Harlem, yeah
She says it`s heart, heart and soul
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah yeah
Right now
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded, you lost your way
Through the side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
An angel in devil`s shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah
Angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem...
