There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one, it`s never seen the sun It only comes out 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 and sweet and dreaming There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem With eyes as black as coal that look down in my soul And start a fire there and the I loose control I have to beg your pardon I`m going to pick that rose and watches her as She grows in my garden There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem It is a special one its never seen the sun It only comes out when the moon is on the run And all the stars are gleaming It`s growing in the street right up to concrete But soft and sweet and dreaming There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
