Farewell to Harlem, farewell to Harlem nights,
Your darkest faces, watched by the mission lights
Farewell to Harlem, your sun don't shine so bright
I'm leaving you, leaving you, tonight
You' gotta get down on the floor, baby and dance with me
You know I wanna feel your body move
It says the memory to take, that's the one I want with me
To know that I can feel your body move
Farewell to Harlem, farewell to Harlem nights,
Your darkest faces, watched by the mission lights
Farewell to Harlem, your sun don't shine so bright
I'm leaving you, leaving you, tonight
Living so close to the pain, it puts a charge in me
To know that I can feel your rhythm in my blood
And if there's one thing I can taste Lord that's the one I want with me
To know that I can feel your rhythm in my blood
>Farewell to Harlem, farewell to Harlem nights,
Your darkest faces, watched by the mission lights
Farewell to Harlem, your sun don't shine so bright
I'm leaving you, leaving you, tonight
Farewell to Harlem, farewell to Harlem nights,
Your darkest faces, watched by the mission light ....
