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 ti was mine
It happened in Monterey
Without thinking twice
I left here and I threw away
The key to paradise
My indiscrete heart
Longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey
Aah it happened in Monterey
A long time ago
I met her in Monterey
In old Mexico
Stars guitars
Lips as red as wine
Broke someone's heart
And I fear that it was mine
It happened in Monterey
Without thinking twice
I left here and I threw away
The key to paradise
My indiscrete heart
How it longs for that sweetheart
That I met in old Monterey
