Veracruz by Pierce Pettis Lyrics

When the night comes rolling in my thoughts roll back to you
And I'm holding you again on nights in Veracruz
When the train whistle blows, it blows me clean away, back to old Mexico
Sometimes I call your name

Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon)
If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz

Down the old cobbled streets ran the Rosa Linda moon
Where, as lovers, we would meet
You were my passion fruit
With that smile on your face, how could I refuse?
Now I long for one more taste of nights in Veracruz

Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon)
If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz

Now the sun's coming up
Dogs are barking; rooster crows
I got black coffee in my cup and a chill down in my bones
Oh, but once upon a time, there's a place that I once knew
Where dark eyes still shine on those nights in Veracruz
Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon)
If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz
Oh, mi corazon, what am I to do? (mi vida, mi corazon)
If I could only hold on to nights in Veracruz
Oh, nights in Veracruz
