In my imagination I'm finding consolation
Somewhere along the Rio Grand
Sadly I'm reminiscing, madly again I'm kissing
Someone along the Rio Grand

It happened in Monterey a long time ago
I met him 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 him 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 him 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 him and threw away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left behind me

In a little Spanish town, 'twas on a night like this
When he held me in his arms and gave me my first kiss
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old Monterey
