	Story Behind the Song I wanted to write a Romeo and Juliet type of forbidden love song between a rich man and a poor woman with a definite Latin/Brazilian feel. Lyrics I am from a house of Ivory Free from wanting anything She works in the fields like her father did before her Toils while I take my tea But what we have could never be As darkness falls we love so secretly Tender lover in the night Though what is impossible to others A love we will not deny Interrupted by the morning light Precious stone that sparkles in the sunlight Water for my precious soul to drink Oh but if our love were discovered I just might lose everything Chorus Que linda Morena Te quiero Te amo What I have to lose is everything Worthless if I can't have her I would gladly give away my name and all my fortune For the love we both treasure And I have never been so sure And soon the dawn will bring to me Morning and another day Walking to the fields our children all around us It could be no other way I have given everything away
