It Happened In Monterey - Frank Sinatra, Nelson Riddle

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

Ah, it happened in Monterey, a long time ago

I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico

Stars, guitars, lips red as wine

Broke somebody’s heart and I fear that it was mine

It happened in Monterey and without thinking twice

I left her and I threw away the key to paradise

My indiscreet heart, how it longs for that sweetheart

That I left in old Monterey
