Night was dark, your skin was dark |
|
Your eyes were shining bright |
|
Oh black beauty, close in my heart |
|
I was King Salomon who held his queen of Sheba tight |
|
Oh black beauty, held in my arms |
|
How we were told, love was not meant for us |
|
Two different worlds stepped apart |
|
Heart against heart |
|
But we knew where to find an opportunity |
|
Far away where no one was near |
|
We could meet there at night and with impunity |
|
Oh black beauty, love without fear |
|
Our love was " |
|
Vanderbilt |
|
" |
|
So young and so pure |
|
I held your trembling hands |
|
I was so sure |
|
Then when our lips met there was no returning |
|
The fire was burning in our hearts |
|
So we were told, love was not meant for us |
|
Two different worlds stepped apart |
|
Heart against heart |
|
But we knew where to find an opportunity |
|
Far away where no one was near |
|
I was King Salomon who held his queen of Sheba tight |
|
Oh black beauty, love without fear |
