It Happened In Monterey
Harry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
Making believe I'm merry
In ev'ry glass of sherry
I see the sparkle of her eye
And when I hear the cello
Tender and sweet and mellow
I hear the music of her sigh
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

In my imagination, I'm finding consolation
My mind is providing comfort to alleviate my longing
Somewhere along the Rio Grande

Stars and steel guitars
Bright stars accompanied by the twang of a steel guitar
And luscious lips, as red as wine
She had attractive, inviting lips that had the color of red wine
Broke somebody's heart
Her actions caused somebody to be heartbroken
And I'm afraid that it was mine
Unfortunately, I was the one left with a broken heart
Without thinking twice
I acted impulsively without giving it much consideration
I left her and threw away the key to paradise
I abandoned my love and lost the chance to experiencing happiness
My indiscreet heart, longs for the sweetheart
I regret leaving my lover, and my heart desires to be with her once again
Making believe I'm merry
I pretend to be happy and cheerful outwardly
In ev'ry glass of sherry
Whenever I consume the alcoholic sherry drink
I see the sparkle of her eye
I vividly picture the shine in her lovely eyes
And when I hear the cello
Whenever I listen to the sweet sound of the cello instrument
Tender and sweet and mellow
A pleasurable and smooth melody
I hear the music of her sigh
I hear her exhalation, like music to my ears
