Senorita, don't get me wrong,
I'm a lonely boy, long, long way from home.
Another fugitive of heartbreak,
I left it back in the States,
So I'm here all alone.
This is certainly a lovely town,
I was hopin' you could show me around,
Hopin' maybe we could spend some time.
Maybe you can get her off my mind.
Spend some time in that
Santiago midnight moonlight,
Tropical stars above,
Santiago midnight moonlight,
the perfect place to fall in love.
I can't seem to get her off of my mind,
She was the one of a kind
I was so lucky to find.
We had even talked of settling down
In some respected suburban American town.
Did I tell you you have beautiful eyes
As soft and dark as the tropical night?
A margarita and a midnight smile,
You made me want to stay a while
And spend some time in your
Santiago midnight moonlight,
Tropical stars above,
Santiago midnight moonlight,
the perfect place to fall in love.
Now my days are turnin' into years,
Talkin' tourist trade, sellin' souvenirs.
And I don't even mind the sand in my shoes,
And my sweet senorita doesn't give me the blues.
Thinkin' back now it's hard to say
Why I left the good ole USA.
As I recall I left some girl back there,
But I swear I can't even remember her name.
I'm just thinkin' bout
Santiago midnight moonlight,
Tropical stars above,
Santiago midnight moonlight,
The perfect place to fall in love
Santiago midnight moonlight,
Tropical stars above,
Santiago midnight moonlight,
The perfect place to fall in
