Spanish Harlem - Aretha Franklin

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
She is a special one she's never seen the sun
She only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
She's growing in the street right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamin'
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 starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In my garden
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 starts a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In my garden
