The Girl With Gardenias In Her Hair

One starry night
 In a little town in Old Mexico
 I found my love
 Down by the sea, where soft trade winds blow
 She came in the night
 With perfume that sweetened the air
 And I lost my heart
 To the girl with gardenias in her hair
 I glanced her way
 She smiled and my heart started to sing
 She came into my arms
 And the night became a sweet, magic thing
 When I held her close
 I knew I'd follow her anywhere
 And I lost my heart
 To the girl with gardenias in her hair
 We shared thru the night
 Our love until the first light of dawn
 Then one last kiss
 And like a whisper on the wind, she was gone
 I go each night
 To the places where she once spoke my name
 Some call me fool
 They say I'm chasing only a dream
 But I know, one day
 I'll turn and suddenly, she'll be there
 And I'll spend my life
 With the girl with gardenias in her hair
