It is the special one 

It never sees the sun 

It only comes up 

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 sweet and dreamy 

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem) 

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem) 

With eyes as black as coal 

That look down in his soul 

It start a fire there and then he loses control 

I'm gonna beg his par-ar-ar-ardon yeah 

He's going to pick that rose 

And watch her as she grows 

In his garden

(There is a rose in Spanish Harlem uum uum) 

(A rose in black at Spanish Harlem uum uum) 

With eyes as black as coal 

That look down in his soul 

And start a fire there and then he loses control 

And I wanna beg his par-ar-ar-don 

He's going to pick that rose 

And watch her as she grows 

In his garden
