lyrics

Why don't you come to California
We can live in my house high on a hill
Where sunsets last forever?

It never snows in California
But lonely nights still bring a chill
That aches in these old bones
Must I be so alone?

Yesterday, it doesn't matter it's over
I heard you say, there's no such thing as forever

The people live in California
Look at me as if I were standing still
Alone up on my hill

The lights below shine like a million stars
The sky above is as dark as once below
I'm losing my direction, I'm not the boy you know

Yesterday, it doesn't matter it's over
I heard you say, there's no such thing as forever

But what a day for an honest lie
If only I had an alibi
I play it off but I hope you try to come

Why don't you come to California
Why don't you come to California
Why don't you come to California
When my love lies waiting, love lies waiting
Love's waiting back home.
