1990**lf**Writer(s): Michael Martin Murphey**lf****lf**Spanish is the lovin'' tongue**lf**Soft as springtime, light as spray**lf**There was a girl I learned it from**lf**Living down Sonora way**lf**Now I don''t look much like a lover**lf**Yet I say her love words over**lf**Late at night when I''m all alone**lf**''Mi amor, mi corazon''**lf****lf**There were nights when I would ride**lf**She would listen for my spurs**lf**Fling that big door open wide**lf**Raise those laughing eyes of hers**lf**And how those hours would get to flyin''**lf**Pretty soon, I''d hear her cryin''**lf**''Please, don''t leave me all alone**lf**Mi amor, mi corazon''**lf****lf**Then one night I had to fly**lf**I got into a foolish gamblin'' fight**lf**I had a swift goodbye**lf**In that black unlucky night**lf**And traveling north, her words kept ringing**lf**And every word I could hear her singing**lf**''Please, don''t leave me all alone**lf**Mi amor, mi corazon''**lf****lf**Well, I ain''t never seen her since that night**lf**I can''t cross the line now**lf**She was Mexican, and I was White**lf**Like as not, it''s better so**lf**And yet I''ve always sort of missed her**lf**Since that last wild night I kissed her**lf**I left my heart, but I lost my own**lf**''Mi amor, mi corazon''
