Lyrics

Carmel Valley Love song

In Arroyo Seco out under the stars
Away from the city and the rushing cars
It was January, but that night it was spring
The most beautiful woman that I?d ever seen.

I pulled out the bottle and said with a grin
?I forgot a corkscrew I guess I?ll push the cork in?
Then we gathered some wood and built up the fire
California Cabernet and burning desire

It?s a Carmel Valley love song
Tonight is all we know.
Don?t talk to me about the future
Cause I don?t want to go.

I remember we danced where no one could see
Our only spectators the whispering trees.
I?d spin you around and I?d hold you up high.
We were laughing so hard I thought we might die.

Then we got to the river, a glistening pool.
I stripped down and jumped. You must have thought me a fool.
Then gasping for breath, I swam to the shore.
I climbed onto a rock where you helped me get warm.

It?s a Carmel Valley love song.
Hold me close and don?t let go.
Don?t talk to me about the future,
Cause I don?t want to know.

(musical break)

It?s a Carmel Valley love song.
Just yesterday it seems.
Golden hills and clear blue water
Now only in my dreams.


In Arroyo Seco out under the stars
Away from the city and the rushing cars.
It was January, but that night it was spring.
The most beautiful woman that I?d ever seen.
