Angel Of Harlem Songtext / Lyric

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... this love won't let me go

So long... angel of Harlem



Birdland on fifty-three

The street sounds like a symphony

We got John Coltrane and a love supreme

Miles, and she's got 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



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...
