Kenny Rogers - Santiago Midnight Moonlight Lyrics

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

Love fall in you can fall in love
