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 (mi vida, ooo, mi corazon) What am I to do? 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 Well, the sun is coming up Dogs are barking, rooster crows 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 nights in Veracruz
