It Happened In Monterey - Remastered 2001

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
 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
 Making believe I'm merry
 In ev'ry glass of sherry
 I see the sparkle of her eye
 And when I hear the cello
 Tender and sweet and mellow
 I hear the music of her sigh
 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
