Lyrics

[00:09.39] vWrite a song about California, he said
[00:13.43] Write a song about California,
[00:15.51] he said to me before I left
[00:17.43] But I think I'll write a song about him instead.
[00:24.06] Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood hill
[00:28.80] Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place,
[00:31.58] Maybe I never will
[00:33.09] But I'm thinkin' bout you still.
[00:37.72] Walking down Sunset Boulevard
[00:42.02] Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard
[00:47.29] With you, I don't know where to start.
[00:52.59] Here's to the boy
[00:54.46] Who keeps me up all night,
[00:56.42] Who sings exactly right,
[00:58.11] And never lets me know
[01:01.19] Here's to the one
[01:03.14] The one with the bright eyes,
[01:05.18] Who makes me realize,
[01:07.64] I got a long long way to go to California.
[01:19.64] Now I am standing on this pier
[01:24.05] With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears.
[01:29.25] I'm wishing you were here.
[01:32.93] Write a song about California he said.
[01:37.20] I think it's something everybody's got to do before they're dead,
[01:40.95] But I wrote this song about you instead.
[01:48.04] Here's to the boy
[01:49.91] Who keeps me up all night,
[01:51.80] Who sings exactly right,
[01:53.86] And never lets me know
[01:57.01] Here's to the one
[01:58.46] The one with the bright eyes,
[02:00.77] Who makes me realize,
[02:03.67] I got a long long way to go to California.
[02:14.46] Sunsets a backdown venus beach.
[02:18.62] Famous names that wrap my feet.
[02:22.53] Downscale folks with upscale parties
[02:25.01] Let's do lunch, let's do pilate's
[02:27.19] Wasting minds for perfect bodies
[02:45.52] Here's to the boy
[02:47.79] Who keeps me up all night,
[02:49.87] Who sings exactly right,
[02:51.83] And never lets me know
[02:54.87] Here's to the one
[02:56.47] The one with the bright eyes,
[02:58.80] Who makes me realize,
[03:01.40] I got a long long way to go to California.
