Rosalinda's Eyes: by Billy Joel


I play nights in the Spanish part of town
I've got music in my hands
The work is hard to find
But that don't get me down
Rosalinda understands

Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere
And though I'll never be there
I know what I would see there
I can always find my Cuban skies
In Rosalinda's eyes

When she smiles she gives everything to me
When she's all alone she cries
And I'd do anything to take away her tears
Because they're Rosalinda's eyes

Senorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere
I've got a chance to make it
It's time for me to take it
I'll return before the fire dies
In Rosalinda's eyes

All alone in a Puerto Rican band
Union wages, wedding clothes
Hardly anyone has seen how good I am
But Rosalinda says she knows

Crazy Latin dancing solo down in Herald Square
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere
And though I'll never be there
I know what I would see there
I can always find my Cuban skies
In Rosalinda's eyes

Senorita don't be lonely, I will soon be there
Oh Havana I've been searching for you everywhere
I've got a chance to make it
It's time for me to take it
I'll return before the fire dies
In Rosalinda's eyes

@kittycat2897 Thanks...!

[joeybagadonuts111]

why do all the girls have blue eyes? I'm sure "rosalinda" has dark eyes! Just an observation. Pics are pretty though!

@joeybagadonuts111 Thanks for your input. Here, Billy traces a simple analogy by liking the blue Cubans skies to a blue eyed girl. There are many gorgeous brunet with dark eyes.. In Cuba there are some with blue and green eyes..; my grandma was one of them.....:-)))~

This is a beautiful song. I was just watching freaks and geeks and they used this in the soundtrack. Shows how great a show it was to know to choose such a great song.

I love the scene in Freaks and Geeks where Bill, Sam, Neal, and Maureen are playing with the rockets. The song is great.

This is a lost gem of the Billy Joel catalogue. Love the percussion and arrangements, really shows the depth and range of Billy's old band. Outstanding post. :)
