Rosalinda's Eyes

I play nights in the Spanish part of town

I've got music in my hands

The work is hard to find, but that don't get me down

Rosalinda understands

Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square

Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere

And though I'll never be there

I know what I would see there

I can always find my Cuban skies

In Rosalinda's eyes

When she smiles she gives everything to me

And when she's all alone, she cries

I'd do anything to take away her tears

Because they're Rosalinda's eyes

Señorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there

Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere

And I've got a chance to make it

It's time for me to take it

I'll return before the fire dies

In Rosalinda's eyes

All alone in a Puerto Rican band

Union wages, wedding clothes

Hardly anyone has seen how good I am

But Rosalinda says she knows

Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square

Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere

And though I'll never be there

I know what I would see there

I can always find my Cuban skies

In Rosalinda's eyes

Okay

Señorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there

Oh, Havana, I've been searching for you everywhere

I've got a chance to make it

It's time for me to take it

And I'll return before the fire dies

In Rosalinda's eyes
