Aretha Franklin – Spanish Harlem Lyrics <br /> <br />"Spanish Harlem" <br /> <br />(La-la-la la la la la la la la) <br />(La-la-la la la la la la la la) <br /> <br />(There's a rose in black at Spanish Harlem) <br />(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem) <br /> <br />It is the special one <br />It never sees the sun <br />It only comes up <br />When the moon is on the run <br />And all the stars are gleaming <br />It's growing in the street <br />Right up through the concrete <br />But soft sweet and dreamy <br /> <br />(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) <br />(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem) <br /> <br />With eyes as black as coal <br />That look down in his soul <br />It start a fire there and then he looses control <br />I'm gonna beg his par-ar-ar-ardon yeah <br />He's going to pick that rose <br />And watch her as she grows <br />In his garden <br /> <br />[Instrumental] <br /> <br />(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem uum uum) <br />(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem uum uum) <br /> <br />With eyes as black as coal <br />That look down in his soul <br />And start a fire there and then he loses control <br />And I wanna beg his par-ar-ar-don <br />He's going to pick that rose <br />And watch her as she grows <br />In his garden <br /> <br />(La-la-la- la la la la la la la) <br />(La la la-la-la la-la-la la) <br />(La la la-la-la la-la-la la) <br /> <br />[Fades] <br /> <br />(La la la-la-la la-la-la la)
