It Happened in Monterey |
| 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 |
