Angel of Harlem

Angel of Harlem - Orquesta Baladisima

It was a cold and wet December day

When we touched the ground at JFK

Snow was melting on the ground

On LS 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

John Coltrane

And a love supreme

Miles says she's got to be an angel

Lady Day got diamond eyes

Sees the truth behind the lies

Angel

Soul love and 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

Yeah yeah

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

Side streets

And the alleyway

Like a star exploding in the night

Coming 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

Angel angel of Harlem
