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
