It Happened In Monterey

歌詞

In my imagination, I'm finding consolation Somewhere along the Rio Grande Sadly I'm reminiscing, madly again I'm kissing Someone along the Rio Grande It happened in Monterey, a long time ago I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico Stars and steel guitars And luscious lips, as red as wine Broke somebody's heart And I'm afraid that it was mine It happened in Monterey Without thinking twice I left her and threw away the key to paradise My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart That I left in old Monterey Making believe I'm merry In ev'ry glass of sherry I see the sparkle of her eye And when I hear the cello Tender and sweet and mellow I hear the music of her sigh It happened in Monterey, a long time ago I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico Stars and steel guitars And luscious lips, as red as wine Broke somebody's heart And I'm afraid that it was mine It happened in Monterey Without thinking twice I left her and threw away the key to paradise My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
