Lyrics

Remember when we used to laugh where the summer grass would grow Racing through the orange grooves, the ocean light reflecting in your eyes But now you're so far from here, I hope this letter brings you near What we had in our California I'm still here and I'm waiting for you, California I remember starlight skies, where the palm trees tower high Lay our backs down on the sand, watch the golden moonbeams orbit round But we were so much younger then and I have weathered different seasons If I get back to California Until then I'll be thinking of you What we had in our California, California I wish I would have known, that you're not coming back But it's not that simple because I didn't want to hurt you But you just left me in the cold without any warning Well I'm a wife and mother now, that's the life that I am living And I can't go back to California You say it's too late but I still adore you No we can't go back but I'm thinking of you But I can't let go of our California, California, California
