It Happened in Monterey Lyrics
It happened in Monterey
A long time ago
I met her in Monterey in Old Mexico
Stars an' 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 thinkin' twice
I left her and threw away the key to Paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for a sweetheart
That I left in Old Monterey
It happened in Monterey
A long time ago
He 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 a sweetheart
That I left in Old Monterey
