|
One starry night |
|
In a little town in old Mexico |
|
I found my love |
|
Down by the sea, where soft trade winds blow |
|
She came in the night |
|
With perfume that sweetened the air |
|
And I lost my heart |
|
To the girl with gardenias in her hair |
|
I glanced her way |
|
She smiled and my heart started to sing |
|
She came into my arms |
|
And the night became a sweet, magic thing |
|
When I held her close |
|
I knew I'd follow her anywhere |
|
And I lost my heart |
|
To the girl with gardenias in her hair |
|
We shared through the night |
|
Our love until the first light of dawn |
|
Then one last kiss |
|
And like a whisper on the wind, she was gone |
|
I go each night |
|
To the places where she once spoke my name |
|
Some call me fool |
|
They say I'm chasing only a dream |
|
But I know, one day |
|
I'll turn and suddenly, she'll be there |
|
And I'll spend my life |
|
With the girl with gardenias in her hair |
