There's a full moon over the western sky
And a star so bright that it hurts my eyes
Tempting me to go where I can
Well, I just came down to enjoy the view
Wanna do whatever the natives do
Happily, I walk in the sand

Then I saw her face by the shore
Nothing is the same anymore

Cancun, don't let me go so soon
I need your magic moon
Shining into her eyes
Cancun, she's everything I dream
And I just can't believe
We have to say goodbye

It's a mystic night in a border town
And she tries to get me to stick around
Tempting me to do what I can
I said, "Oh, no, baby, that just can't be
But you could maybe come home with me"
Happily, we walk in the sand

Then I saw a tear in her eye
And I knew we just said goodbye
Cancun, don't let me go so soon
I need your magic moon
Shining into her eyes
Cancun, she's everything I dream
And I just can't believe
We have to say goodbye

We looked at the sky under a bamboo tree
I said I was leaving, but leaving a part of me
She said, "My heart will always be with you
And when you come back, I will give you Cancun"

Cancun, don't let me go so soon
I need your magic moon
Shining into her eyes
Cancun, she's everything I dream
And I just can't believe
We have to say goodbye
