Bobby Caldwell Mazatlan lyrics

There was I
Just a twenty-four seven guy
When I finally got a well deserved vacation
It was on a moon lit beach
Where the stars were within my reach
I fell under a spell that turned my world around

Mazatlan
You're the echo of love's sweet song
But the melody's strong, it keeps playing on and on
There in Mazatlan
I'll give in to my destiny
If you say that she'll be
Saving her heart for me
There in Mazatlan

Like a dream so real
Feeling things I never thought I'd feel
As we danced away the night on ocean breezes
And the stars in her eyes I was hypnotized

Left me helpless and memorized
Giving in into the trance I laid my troubles down

Mazatlan
You're the echo of love's sweet song
But the melody's strong, it keeps playing on and on
There in Mazatlan
I'll give in to my destiny
If you say that she'll be
Saving her heart for me
There in Mazatlan

There is something about this mystical place
“Shangri-La” by the sea
Makes it tempting for me to leave the rat race
I'll be safe in her arms, they won't find me
(Repeat chorus)
