Marty Robbins - The Girl With Gardenias in Her Hair Lyrics

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

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
