Ruth Etting — It Happened In Monterey

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
