The things we've done and said
 And all the memories that come glancing back to me
 In my loneliness
 You're standing in the breach
 Beyond that stretch, but our love will reach
 Unconsciousness that find me sometimes wondering
 Where you're at.
 Hmm, take me back again,
 Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.
 The way you pulled the gate
 Behind you when you said, "It ain't too late,
 Come on, let's have a ball
 And swing the town tonight."
 And hoping you'd come through
 And many others, too,
 And all the friends we used to have in days gone by,
 I'm wondering
 If you'll take me back again,
 Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

 And when the lights went out
 And no one was abandoning the country in full bloom,
 In the room we danced
 And many hearts were torn
 And when the word went around that everything was wrong
 And couldn't be put right
 It tore me up, it tore me up.

 (additional verse:)
 The way you held a note
 The trembling in your throat,
 That just beginning of your wondrous smile.
 The rising of the water
 The winter winds of days gone by.
 I often ask myself and wonder why
 It's gone.
 Ohhh take me back again,
 You have to take me back again,
 Take me back one more time, Spanish Rose.

 In slumber you did sleep,
 The window I did creep
 And touch your raven hair and sing that song
 Again to you.
 You did not even wince,
 You thought I was the Prince
 To come and take you from your misery
 And lonely castle walls.
 Ah, take me back again,
 Take me back one more time, Spanish rose.

 (fadeout)
 Ah ah, ah ah,
 Mmmj, mmm,
