Marty Robbins - Girl With Gardenias In Her Hair lyrics

rate me

One starry night<br />

In a little town in Old Mexico<br />

I found my love<br />

Down by the sea, where soft trade winds blow<br />

She came in the night<br />

With perfume that sweetened the air<br />

And I lost my heart<br />

To the girl with gardenias in her hair<br />

<br />

I glanced her way<br />

She smiled and my heart started to sing<br />

She came into my arms<br />

And the night became a sweet, magic thing<br />

When I held her close<br />

I knew I'd follow her anywhere<br />

And I lost my heart<br />

To the girl with gardenias in her hair<br />

<br />

We shared thru the night<br />

Our love until the first light of dawn<br />

Then one last kiss<br />

And like a whisper on the wind, she was gone<br />

<br />

I go each night<br />

To the places where she once spoke my name<br />

Some call me fool<br />

They say I'm chasing only a dream<br />

But I know, one day<br />

I'll turn and suddenly, she'll be there<br />

And I'll spend my life<br />

With the girl with gardenias in her hair
