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
