Spanish Is The Loving Tongue Lyrics
Spanish is the loving tongue
Soft as music, light as spray
'Twas a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way
I don't look much like a lover
Still I hear her soft words over
Mostly when I'm all alone
Mi amor, mi corazon
On the nights that I would ride
She would listen for my spurs
Throw that big door open wide
Raise those laughin' eyes of hers
Oh how those hours would go a flyin'
All too soon I would hear her sighin'
In a sweet and quiet tone
Mi amor, mi corazon
Haven't seen, haven't seen her since that night
I cn't cross, can't cross the line you know
They want me for the gamblin' fight
Like as not, it's better so
Still I've always kind of missed her
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Broke her heart, left my own
Adios, mi corazon
Soft as music, light as spray
'Twas a girl I learned it from
Living down Sonora way
Still I hear her soft words over
Mostly when I'm all alone
Mi amor, mi corazon
She would listen for my spurs
Throw that big door open wide
Raise those laughin' eyes of hers
All too soon I would hear her sighin'
In a sweet and quiet tone
Mi amor, mi corazon
I cn't cross, can't cross the line you know
They want me for the gamblin' fight
Like as not, it's better so
Since that last sad night I kissed her
Broke her heart, left my own
Adios, mi corazon
