ONE STARRY NIGHT
IN A LITTLE TOWN
IN OLD MEXICO
I FOUND MY LOVE
DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE SOFT
TRADEWINDS 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
THROUGH 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
