ANGEL OF HARLEM

It was a cold and wet December day When we touched down at JFK Snow was melting on the ground On BLS I heard the sound (Of an angel) New York, like a Christmas tree I said tonight this city belongs to me (Angel) Soul love... this love won't let me go So long... angel of Harlem Birdland on 53 The street sounds like a symphony We got John Coltrane and a love supreme Miles and she was to be an angel Lady Day got diamond eyes She sees the truth behind the lies (angel) Soul love... this love won't let me go So long... Angel of Harlem, Angel of Harlem Uh uh uh… Yeh yeh… 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 Oh the side streets and the alleyways Like a star exploding in the night Filling up the city with broad daylight An Angel in Devil's shoes Salvation in the blues You never looked like and angel yeah yeah Angel of Harlem oh oh Angel Angel of Harlem Angel Angel of Harlem Angel Angel of Harlem…
