Paul Whiteman - It Happened In Monterey lyrics

It Happened In Monterey John Boles Verse: 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 Chorus: 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 (chorus repeats)
