Lyrics

Verse:
They say time can stand still down in Mexico
I never knew it until I met her and held her close
Didn't go there to find love; I loved only my dream of fortune and fame
And thought time moved too slow, 'til I went down to Mexico

Chorus:
Cities of gold and all that they hold
Can blind us from seeing what matters the most
But in Mexico, hearts seem to know
That love beats a rhythm that speaks to the soul; but I couldn't let go

Verse:
They say truth cannot hide from the light down in Mexico
But I tried to deny what I knew in my heart and so ...
I left her 'cause I held on to that dream she could never have shared
Guess that's how it goes for a fool down in Mexico

Chorus:
Cities of gold and all that they hold
Can blind us from seeing what matters the most
But in Mexico, hearts seem to know
That love beats a rhythm that speaks to the soul; oh, why did I go?

Verse:
I heard there's a line you must cross down in Mexico
To separate love from life and accept what the truth unfolds
I went back there to find her and we kissed as we crossed hand-in-hand
And love overflowed in the waters of Mexico
Thought I'd lost her when I reached for a dream she could never have shared
But the truth is my dream was still waiting in Mexico
And she said "Now, you're home here in Mexico"
