Spanish Is the Loving Tongue

[Verse 1]
Spanish is the loving tongue
Light as music, light as spray
Was a man I learned it from
Living down Sonora way
I don't look much like a lover
But I say his loved words over
Mostly when I'm all alone!
Mi amor, mi corazon

[Verse 2]
Nights when he knew where I'd ride
He would listen for my spurs
Throw those big doors open wide
Lift me from the saddle in his arms
Ay, the hours would go a-flyin'
And too soon we would be silent
While the moonlight brightly shone
Mi amor, mi corazon

[Verse 3]
Starlight on the patio
Oh senora, nodding near
Me and Juan were talking low
So the madre does not hear
How the hours would go a-flying
And too soon we would be sighing
While the moonlight brightly shone
Mi amor, mi corazon

[Verse 4]
Haven't seen her since that night
I can't cross the line you know
Wanted for a gambling fight
Like as not its better so
Still I've always kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Broke her heart, lost my own
Adios, Mi corazon

[Verse 5]
I haven't seen him since that night
I can't cross the line, you know
And he's wanted for a gambling fight
Like as not, it's better so
Still I often kind of miss him
Since that last sad night I kissed him
Left his heart and lost my own
Mi amor, mi corazon
Adios, mi corazon
