I so boldly inquire, pointing finger Havana way
Only in Miami
Only in Miami
Only in Miami
Fish may fly through the purple keys
Standing on the shoreline waiting
My story, she goes this way
I thought I heard her mumble as she turned away
Standing on the shoreline waiting
I am bound to the earth, it seems
Is Cuba so far away
I can hear the broken hearted say
Golden birds take to air
Only in Miami
Is Cuba so far away
Only in Miami
And she cries for her son without a father
I can hear the broken hearted say
A girl with ebony fire eyes
Is Cuba so far away
Is Cuba so far away
My life can be so unfair
Is Cuba so far away
Everyone anticipating
Now what could be such a source of pain?
Only in Miami
Is Cuba so far away
Only in Miami
Soft and low do she cry
And she cries for herself without a lover
Only in Miami
Is Cuba so far away
She told me that
And she cries for her child without a mother
Can't face another day, chase the blues away
Only in Miami
These three words which transpire
Everyone anticipating
Is Cuba so far away
