Only In Miami

Walking along the beach last night

Who do you think I spy?

A girl with ebony fire eyes

Soft and low do she cry

Now what could be such a source of pain?

I so boldly inquire

Pointing finger Havana way

These three words which transpire

She told me that only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Only in Miami, my story she goes this way

Fish may fly through the purple keys

Golden birds take to air

I am bound to the earth it seems

Life can be so unfair

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Only in Miami is Cuba so far away

Standing on a shoreline waiting

Every one anticipating

I can hear the broken hearted sing

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

And she cries for her child without a mother

And she cries for her son without a father

And she cries for herself without a lover

Can't take another day

Take this away

I thought I heard her mumble as she

Turned away

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Standing on a shoreline waiting

Everyone anticipating

I can hear the broken hearted sing

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far away

Only in Miami

Is Cuba so far
