It Happened in Monterey
It happened in Monterey, a
long time ago,
I met her in
Monterey, in ol' Mexico.
Stars an' 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 thinkin' twice,
I left her an'
threw away the key to Paradise.
My indiscreet
heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol'
Monterey!
( It happened in
Monterey, a long time ago,
He 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 an'
threw away the key to Paradise.
My indiscreet
heart, longs for a sweetheart,
That I left in ol'
Monterey!
