Lyrics
Verse
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
Chorus
Soul Love well this love won't let me go
So Long...Angel of Harlem
Verse
Birdland on 53
The streets sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles says she's has to be an Angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
she sees the truth behind the lies, Angel
Chorus
Soul love well this love won't let me go
So long...Angel of Harlem
Bridge
Ooh, ooh
She says it's heart, heart and Soul
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey hey right now
Verse
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An empty glass a lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
Through side streets and the alleyway
Like a star exploding in the night
Falling to the city in broad daylight
Chorus
Angel in the devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an Angel
Yeah, yeah Angel of Harlem
Outro
Angel, Angel of Harlem
