Lyrics

Angel Down On Broadway

© BMI 2006

I still remember the day she came to town
She caught us all by surprise
The thoughts and notes that she wrote down
Brought tears to your eyes

A little rough around the edges
That?s all I?ll ever say
We spent many a night upon that stage
Living on Camels and Rose?

She had more soul within her
Than anyone I?d ever known
She?d say things thated? makem? mad
When she took that microphone

But, she?d never change what she did
When radiod? come around
It was in her heart and in her hand
And it kept us all spellbound

Chorus
She was an angel down on Broadway
That brought us to our knees
All those tunes filled with magic
And words of mystery
And Lord I sure miss her
We all knew she was heaven bound
That angel down on Broadway
Who?s left the underground

I guess I could be with her
She asked me several times
But, I always knew she was better
At jottin down those rhymes

I hear she?s out west doin? the Fillmore
And playin? the Las Vegas strip
But we?re all here on Broadway
Living the dream for drinks and tips

Chorus

So make mine a double gin and tonic
I?m needin? something strong tonight
She?s filling up my memory
And I?m not puttin? up a fight

I guess I?ll never have the disposition
Does no good to complain
It might hurt some tomorrow morning
But tonight I feel no pain

Chorus
