The Little Señorita with Green Eyes

[Intro]
One morning in July
A newborn baby cries
Her mama holds her tight
And hums a Spanish lullaby
To the tiny señorita with green eyes

[Verse 1]
She wore a tattered dress with faded ribbons
She's had it since the day her mama died
The people knew her well in Rosarito
The little señorita with green eyes

[Verse 2]
No one knew exactly where her home was
Or how a child so young learned to survive
I saw her on the corner selling flowers
The little señorita with green eyes

[Bridge]
She looked up and handed me some roses
There was something in her face I recognized
I remembered one sweet night in Rosarito
When a dark-eyed Spanish lady held me tight

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
When she looked up and handed me those roses
I saw something in that sweet young smile
Her mama was that dark-eyed Spanish lady
On that tender moonlit Rosarito night

[Verse 3]
All at once, I knew what the truth was
Time stood still as my heart realized
The child I've never known stood before me
The little señorita with green eyes

[Outro]
One evening in July
A young child says goodnight
Her papa holds her tight
And hums a Spanish lullaby
To his little señorita with green eyes
