Angel of Harlem Lyrics[Verse 1]
It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at J.F.K
The snow was melting on the ground
On B.L.S. I heard the sound
(Of an angel)
New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight, this city belongs to me
(Angel)
[Chorus 1]
Soul love
Well this love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
[Verse 2]
Birdland on Fifty-Three
The street sounds 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)
[Chorus 1]
Soul love
Well this love won't let me go
So long
Angel of Harlem
[Bridge]
She says it's heart, heart and soul
Yeah yeah (yeah)
Yeah yeah (right now)
[Verse 3]
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
Empty glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee-sting
Blinded, you lost your way
In the side streets and the alleyways
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
[Chorus 2]
Angel in devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an angel
Yeah, yeah
Angel of Harlem
[Outro]
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem
Angel, angel of Harlem3
