It Happened In Monterey Lyrics

It Happened In Monterey lyrics

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)
