(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem)
|
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)
|
|
It is the special one
|
It never sees the sun
|
It only comes up
|
When the moon is on the run
|
And all the stars are gleaming
|
It's growing in the street
|
Right up through the concrete
|
But soft sweet and dreamy
|
|
(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
|
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem)
|
|
With eyes as black as coal
|
That look down in his soul
|
It start a fire there and then he looses control
|
I'm gonna beg his par-ar-ar-ardon yeah
|
He's going to pick that rose
|
And watch her as she grows
|
In his garden
|

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem uum uum)
|
(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem uum uum)
|
|
With eyes as black as coal
|
That look down in his soul
|
And start a fire there and then he loses control
|
And I wanna beg his par-ar-ar-don
|
He's going to pick that rose
|
And watch her as she grows
|
In his garden
|
