The Girl With Gardenias In Her Hair Marty Robbins Capo 3: 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 Tag: 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
