[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And 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

[Verse 2]
So call on your angels
Your beaten and broke
It's time that we mend them
So they don't fade with the season
May 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
[Chorus]
And 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

[Bridge]
New York, New York, New York Christmas
New York, New York Christmas

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
And 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
