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

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 somebodies 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

Stars and steel guitars
And luscious lips as red as wine
Broke somebodies 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
Once 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
