Little Angel, Little Brother Lyrics

Your R&B records your music books Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks
I see you now at the piano Your back a slow curve Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino While I sang all the words
Little angel, little brother Your bad habits and your attitude Your restless ways and your solitude
I see you leaning your lanky frame Just inside the door A figure behind the kitchen screen Staring down at the floor
Little angel, little brother
Little angel, little brother
Your passion for Shakespeare and your paperbacks Your chess pieces and your wisecracks
I see you sleeping in the car Curled up on the back seat Parked outside of a bar An empty bottle at your feet
Little angel, little brother
Your R&B records your music books Your sense of humor and your rugged good looks
I see you now at the piano Your back a slow curve Playing Ray Charles and Fats Domino While I sang all the words
Little angel little brother Little angel little brother of mine
