From El Paso, along the desert road Riding through, the heart of Mexico With the sun our guide, tried to find a place to spend the night In the distance, off the beaten track Near some lights, we slowed the Cadillac, By a little love motel, where yearning hearts eased the ache so well There we danced in the moonlit night Held your tender body oh so tight Whispered words of love to you my dear Come closer I want you near There we danced in the moonlit night Guitar music, wine and candle-light In this far-off lover's paradise Passion was in our eyes In your eyes, were flames of wild desire Desert heat, set your heart on fire In this love motel, where yearning hearts eased the ache so well There we danced in the moonlit night Guitar music, wine and candle-light In this far-off lover's paradise Passion was in our eyes In the magic of this Mexican night You laid your head on my shoulder I whispered in your ear Oh my love will you marry me There we danced in the moonlit night Guitar music, wine and candle-light In this far-off lover's paradise Passion was in our eyes Passion was in our eyes
