Lyrics: Mabel Wayne/Billy Rose
Music: Mabel Wayne/Billy Rose
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 somebodys heart and I'm afraid that it was mine
I happened in monterey and without thinking twice
I left her and through away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old monterey
I happened in monterey a long time ago
I met her in monterey in old mexico
Stars guitars lipsΒ as red as wine
Broke somebodys heart and I'm afraid that it was mine
It happened in monterey and without thinking twice
I left her and through away the key to paradise
My indiscreet heart longs for the sweetheart
That I left in old monterey
