The Drifters - 16 Greatest Hits lyrics

Album: 20 Greatest Hits

Composer: Phil Spector

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is the special one

It’s never seen 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 and sweet and dreamy

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
