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 youre so far from here, I hope this letter brings you near.
What we had in our California
Im still here and Im 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 Ill be thinking of you,
What we had in our California, California
I wish I would have known, that youre not coming back
But its not that simple because I didnt want to hurt you
But you just left me in the cold without any warning
Well Im a wife and mother now, thats the life that I am living.
And I cant go back to California
You say its too late but I still adore you
No we cant go back but Im thinking of you
But I cant let go of our California, California, California
