A Song About California

Write a song about California, he said Write a song about California, he said to me before I left But I think I'll write a song about him instead Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood hill Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place, maybe I never will Oo, I'm thinkin' bout you still Walking down sunset boulevard Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard With you I don't know where to start Here's to the boy Who keeps me up all night, Who sings exactly right, And never lets me know Here's to the one The one with the bright eyes, Who makes me realize, I got a long long way to go to California Now I am standing on this pier With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears I'm wishing you were here Write a song about California he said I think it's something everybody's got to do before they're dead, But I wrote this song about you instead Here's to the boy Who keeps me up all night, Who sings exactly right, And never lets me know No, no Here's to the one The one with the bright eyes, Who makes me realize, I got a long long way to go to California Sunsets a back down Venus beach Famous names that wrap my feet Downscale folks with upscale parties Lets do lunch, lets do Pilates Wasting minds for perfect bodies Here's to the boy Who keeps me up all night, Who sings exactly right, And never lets me know No, no Here's to the one The one with the bright eyes, Who makes me realize, I got a long long way to go to California
