author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI
The moon on the desert Is a beautiful blue Tonight, I am thinking of you Puerto Vallarta made our love new The all-night ferry to Cabo San Luu Your curly hair When it was raining Your mascara Like a dangerous painting Staining your pillow I know I can't go to Mexico That rainy night we Rendezvous'd with friends San Miguel De Allende, the Governors Inn Your eyes happy as mandolins Asking mine to dance with them Dancing in our squeaky New huaraches While a band Of wild mariachis Played Cielito Lindo I know I can't go to Mexico BRIDGE There on the sand We came to understand Time had been slipping Through our hands Days had been crazy With nothing to show We promised ourselves We'd save up our dough Where there was a will We knew there was a way Time'd stand still Here again someday Now it all seems Like so long ago And I can't go to Mexico BRIDGE
