How can it be true? Last night I dreamt of San Diego Just like I'd never gone I knew this song, the young girl with eyes like the desert It all seems like yesterday, not far away Tropical, the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita And when the sun would fade The sun would set so high Rain through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby I fell in love with San Diego Warm wind carried on the city called to me Te Quiero Te Amo I prayed that the days would last, they went so fast Tropical, the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita And when the sun would fade The sun would set so high Rain through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby I want to be where the sun warms the sky When it's time for siesta, you can watch them go by Beautiful faces, no cares in this world Where a girl loves a boy and a boy loves a girl Last night I dreamt of San Pedro It all seems like yesterday, not far away Tropical, the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita And when the sun would fade The sun would set so high Rain through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby Tropical, the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita And when the sun would fade The sun would set so high Rain through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby Tropical, the island breeze All of nature wild and free This is where I long to be La Isla Bonita And when the sun would fade The sun would set so high Rain through my ears and sting my eyes Your Spanish lullaby © transcript Emily Beynon
