It Happened in Monterey lyrics

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

It happened in Monterey,

a long time ago

I met her in Monterey,

in old Mexico

Stars, guitars

Lips, red as wine

Broke somebody's heart

And I'm afraid that it was mine

It happened in Monterey

And without thinking twice

I left her and I threw away

the key to paradise

My indiscreet heart,

how it longs for the sweetheart

That I left in old Monterey
