It Happened In Monterey
Composer(s): Billy Rose; Mabel Wayne
First performance by: John Boles, Jeanette Loff, The Sisters G, George Chiles & the Russell Market Dancers - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
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
