It Happened in Monterey - Bing Crosby, Paul Whiteman, Jack Fulton

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 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
