Black Beauty
 

My girl's darkest skin was dark, your eyes were shining bright,
Oh Black Beauty, close in my heart.
I was King Solomon 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 kept apart, heart against heart.

But we knew where to find an opportunity,
Far away, where no one was near.

We could meet there that night and with impunity,
Oh Black Beauty, love without fear.
Our love was wonderment, so young and so pure,
I held your trembling hand, I was so sure.

Then when our lips met there was no return,
And the fire was burning with our hearts.

So we were told love was not meant for us,
Two different worlds kept apart, heart against heart.

But we knew where to find an opportunity,
Far away, where no one was near.

I was King Solomon who held his Queen of Sheba tight,
Oh Black Beauty, love without fear.
