It Happened In Monterey Lyrics

It Happened In Monterey
John Boles

Verse:
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.

Chorus:
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.

(chorus repeats)
