It was a cold and wet December day<br />When we touched the ground at JFK<br />Snow was melting on the ground<br />On BLS I heard the sound<br />Of an angel<br />New York, like a Christmas tree<br />Tonight this city belongs to me<br />Angel<br />Soul love, this love won't let me go<br />So long, angel of Harlem<br />Birdland on fifty-three<br />The street sounds like a symphony<br />We got John Coltrane and a love supreme<br />Miles, and she's got to be an angel<br />Lady Day got diamond eyes<br />She sees the truth behind the lies<br />Angel<br />Soul love, this love won't let me go<br />So long, angel of Harlem<br />Angel of Harlem<br />She says it's heart, heart and soul<br />Yeah, yeah (yeah)<br />Yeah, yeah (right now)<br />Blue light on the avenue<br />God knows they got to you<br />An empty glass, the lady sings<br />Eyes swollen like a bee sting<br />Blinded you lost your way<br />Through the side streets and the alleyway<br />Like a star exploding in the night<br />Falling to the city in broad daylight<br />An angel in Devil's shoes<br />Salvation in the blues<br />You never looked like an angel<br />Yeah, yeah, angel of Harlem<br />Angel, angel of Harlem<br />Angel, angel of Harlem<br />Angel, angel of Harlem<br />Angel, angel of Harlem<br />Source: Musixmatch<br />Songwriters: Paul David Hewson / Adam Clayton / Larry Mullen / Dave Evans<br />Angel of Harlem lyrics © Polygram Int.
