It Happened In Monterey – Edmundo Ros – letras

In my imagination, I’m finding consolationSomewhere along the Rio GrandeSadly I’m reminiscing, madly again I’m kissingSomeone along the Rio GrandeIt happened in Monterey, a long time agoI met her in Monterey, in old MexicoStars and steel guitarsAnd luscious lips, as red as wineBroke somebody’s heartAnd I’m afraid that it was mineIt happened in MontereyWithout thinking twiceI left her and threw away the key to paradiseMy indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheartThat I left in old MontereyMaking believe I’m merryIn ev’ry glass of sherryI see the sparkle of her eyeAnd when I hear the celloTender and sweet and mellowI hear the music of her sighIt happened in Monterey, a long time agoI met her in Monterey, in old MexicoStars and steel guitarsAnd luscious lips, as red as wineBroke somebody’s heartAnd I’m afraid that it was mineIt happened in MontereyWithout thinking twiceI left her and threw away the key to paradiseMy indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
