The Sun Goes Down Over Mexico Lyrics

You can listen to the song here: The Sun Goes Down Over Mexico

I wrote this song in early 2010 for my little brother (Petri) & his new bride  to be (Marni). Rather than get up and give a speech at his wedding in Playa de Carmen, Mexico I passionately performed this song in a packed Italian restaurant. There are very few moments in life that can be labeled as truly spectacular and this is one I will never, ever forget.  I wrote this song from the grooms point of view where he sings to his bride telling her this is our time & I want to be with you forever… marry me.

I plan to record this song in studio later this year.  The lyrics are below the image.

The Sun Goes Down Over Mexico Lyrics

The Sun Goes Down Over Mexico, by Lee Raito

The sun goes down over Mexico

The sand burns into the sea

It’s time for margarita

It’s time for you and me

Oh, I know a thing or two about love

I know a thing or two about you and I

I know forever is a long time

That’s fine by me

The sun goes down over Mexico

The sand burns into the sea

It’s time for Sandos

It’s time for you and me

Oh, I know a thing or two about love

I know a thing or two about you and I

I know forever is a long time

Marry me

Te amo, te amo, te amo

Marry me
