Call on your angels

Come down to the city

Crowd around the big tree

All you strangers who know me

Bring your compassion

Your understanding

Lord how we need it

On this New York City Christmas



Yeah I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas

And a prayer for peace on earth

Within our time

Oh, the sidewalk angels echo hallelujah

And 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 celebrate each and every day

This New York City Christmas



Yeah I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas

And a prayer for peace on earth

Within our time

Yeah the sidewalk angels echo hallelujah

And we understand them

Now more than ever

Merry New York Christmas



Call on your angels

Come down to the city

Let's crowd around the big tree

All you strangers you know me

Bring your compassion

Bring your forgiveness

Lord how we need it

On this New York City Christmas



Yeah I'm sending you a Merry New York Christmas

And a prayer for peace on earth

It's not too late

Yeah the sidewalk angels echo hallelujah

We understand them

We understand them

Merry Christmas

Yes a New York City Christmas

(Oh Christmas)

Merry New York Christmas
