Jimmie Spheeris Tequila Moonlite Lyrics

Twilight lit the gray streets
Tenement dinners fill the night air
Down on the corner Maria is waiting
Her hands in her pockets, perfume in her hair

Pepe come runnin'
He lifts her with laughter, so high off the streets
They walk past the crowds to Emmanual's diner
Lost in a love that is pure and so sweet

You know that love finds someone while tequila moonlight
Pours from the sky to the city below
And I don't know why your hearts are so heavy
Come on, light up, light up, and let yourselves go

Morning comes so brightly Ovеr the river, the watеr turns gold
Maria wakes Pepe with kisses and laughter
Shines like a bright sun, lighting his soul

Light up, light up, and let yourselves go

Soon they'll be married
Love in a circle forever goes round
Twilight returns with a dream of a baby
It floats to the full moon and makes it a crown

You know that love finds someone while tequila moonlight
Pours from the sky to the city below
And I don't know why your hearts are so heavy
Come on, light up, light up, and let yourselves go...
