(x8) It was a cold and wet December day When we touched the ground at J.F.K. 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 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 says 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 yeah Oooh oooh oooh oooh Oooh She says it's heart...heart and soul Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah Yeah yeah! Yeah 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 Angel... Angel of Harlem ...
