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 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
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows in my garden (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) (There is a rose in Spanish Harlem)
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we'll see No, I won't be afraid No, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand Stand by me
So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me oh, stand, stand by me stand by me
If the sky that we look upon should tumble and fall or the mountains should crumble in the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand Stand by me

On the horizon out where the ocean greets the sky On the horizon I saw a ship go sailing by This was the ship that I'd often dreamed of A ship made of gold with a golden sail above This was the ship that I dreamed would someday bring my love
On the horizon out where the lonely seagulls cry On the horizon my ship of dreams came sailing by Sailing to me with this cargo so rare It kept comin' closer and closer I swear Closer and closer 'til I woke up and found you there
When the night has come, and the land is dark And the moon is the only light we will see No, I won't be afraid, oh, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand, stand by me So darlin', darlin' stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me

Drivin' around, I just can't hear a sound 'Cept my own wheels turnin' Wastin' a day, I'm just runnin' away From a heart that's burnin' but I can't run forever

It seems that I just can?t win? I?ve been hurt time and time again?
Every time I give my heart somebody tears it all apart Through the years, lord knows I must have shed a river of tears? I tried to be fair in every way I?d even ignored, yes, I have, things that people say Oh, still I?m lonely and all alone I?ve got no one I can call my own Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears
A river of tears, oh, how I yearned, yeah ?
Tears that flow?
Somebody tell me what I?m doing wrong Isn?t there anyone I can depend on? Through the years I know I must have shed a river of tears A river of tears, oh, how I?ve yearned, yes, I have Tears that flow? oh, how I?ve yearned Talking ?bout? talkin? ?bout a river Talkin? ?bout a river
Down home... Oh, down home there used to be rivers and trees fresh bread every single morning and sweet magnolia in the breeze Oh, fishing lines and young dreams
Oh, I hear them calling to me but there's no way to get down home cuz down home's just a memory
Wish I could leave this big town city living ain't living to me but there's no way to get down home
No you can't retrieve it cuz once you leave it
Oh, down home's just a memory Down home... Oh, down home
