California - Dave James

Her heart used to hold me captive

Back when I was enough

Before life taught me lessons

When all that I knew was love

She told me the world was

And that her life never began

She wanted to do a different start again

We walked down by the water

Breathed in the ocean air

She leans in and starts to kiss me

I’m like I care

Maybe somewhere out there

Dreams turn reality

That’s what she said before packed her bags and left for…

California

You’re gave me back the love of my life

You seduced a soul with sunshine and blinding lights

And no matter how much sorrow you put me through

I still dream of you

I wish that it could be different

I wish I could turn back time

But if lighting is gonna strike twice

The storm has to change its mind

Go home and talk to Jesus

Ask Him if she’ll return

I don’t wanna know the answer, all I want is her

If I knew any better

I would just let her go

But I’m just too optimistic

Maybe she’ll come back home

Whenever I see her face

I know that her heart is there

She’ll stay for a little awhile

But chase her dreams right back

California

You’re gave me back the love of my life

You seduced a soul with sunshine and blinding lights

And no matter how much sorrow you put me through

I still dream of you

I know that people are supposed to change

My foolish heart is solely left to blame

I hope she finds something that makes her stand and say

The words, «I love you»
