G                                   C                            D                                       G

The room was a 5-Star luxury suite with a million dollar view of the bay

                                                C                             D                           G

The beaches were white not a cloud in the sky, a postcard kind of a day

                                     C               D                                G

We strolled out on the veranda to soak in this beautiful place

                              C                          D                              G

But it all pales in comparison to the beauty I see in your face

 

CHORUS:

G                                      C              D                               G          

You were my paradise in Mexico, I saw the love in your eyes

                                              C                                 D                 G

You could brighten up the darkest day with just a wink and a smile

                                          C            D                                Em/G

You were my paradise in Mexico, We fell in love on the sand

                                          C                 D                            G

Dancin’ barefoot by the moonlit bay and walkin’ hand in hand 

 

 

G                                 C                         D                                    G

On the plane back to Long Island in the distance the city lights glow

                                                C                                 D                                        G

The runway is white, powder falls from the sky and everything’s covered with snow

                                     C               D                                     G

As I think back on our vacation in my head I hear Mexican tunes

                                         C                            D                                             G

Beautiful songs, we were singing along they must have been written ‘bout you

 

REPEAT CHORUS

 

BRIDGE:

Em                              G        Am7       G                           D

The sun set out on the water and I set out to make you mine

 

REPEAT CHORUS
