It happened in Monterey
It happened in Monterey,a long time agoI met her in Monterey,in old MexicoStars and steel guitarsAnd luscious lips, as red as wineBroke somebody's heartAnd I'm afraid that it was mineIt happened in MontereyWithout thinking twiceI left her and threw awaythe key to paradiseMy indiscreet heart,longs for the sweetheartThat I left in old Monterey
