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 dreamy   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 then I lose control I have to beg your pardon I'm gonna pick that rose  And watch her as she grows in my garden   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 I'm gonna 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 There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
