Lyrics:

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