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
It happened in monterey a long time ago
I met her in monterey in old mexico
Stars guitars
Lips as red as wine
Broke somebody's heart
And I'm afraid that it was mine
It happened in monterey
And without thinking twice
I left her and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart how is longs for the sweethear
That I left in old monterey
