Call on your angels
Come down to the city
And crowd around the big tree
All you strangers who know me
Bring your compassion
And your understanding
Lord, how we need it
On this New York City Christmas
And I'm sendin' you a Merry New York Christmas
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time
Hear the sidewalk angels echo, Hallelujah
We understand them now more than ever
So call on your angels
Your beaten and broken
It's time that we mend them
So they don't fade with the season
Let our mercy be the gifts we lay
From Brooklyn to Broadway
And we'll celebrate each and every day
Of this New York City Christmas
And I'm sendin' you a Merry New York Christmas
And a prayer for peace on Earth within our time
Hear the sidewalk angels echo, Hallelujah
We understand them now more than ever
New York, New York
New York Christmas
New York, New York Christmas
So call on your angels
Let's go down to the city
And we'll crowd around the big tree
'Cause all you strangers, you know me
Bring your compassion
Bring your forgiveness
'Cause right now we need it
On this New York City Christmas
And I'm sendin' you a Merry New York Christmas (Christmas)
And a prayer for peace on Earth, it's not too late (it's not too late)
Hear the sidewalk angels echo, Hallelujah
We understand them, and we hear them say
Merry Christmas
It's a New York City Christmas, yeah
Merry New York Christmas
