Black Beauty

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 we're impunity

Oh black beauty, love without fear

Our love was wonderful

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
