California Lyrics

I whisper 'I love you'

Moments after we get off the phone

And I imagine that you

Are waiting up for me to come home

When I appear there for you

Struggling not to stall that old Ford

Your eyes will shine for someone brand new

It seems I live and I die by my sword

But as

I lay back in bed

I think of where my life has lead

Though now there's a world between us

It'll lead me back again

So

Don't get married before I make it back to California

I could never forgive myself for letting you slip away

Couldn't ask you to wait for me, I don't know how long

That I will be so

I'll just hope that you-

Love, I'm not sure that I believe

In this power that it's said to have had

To lift a heavy heart with relief

And to guide us all along with steady hands

But love, your power's plain for all to see

It's not a thing that I could try hide

How you've taken my heart completely

The only time it lifts is by your side

But as

I lay back in bed

A day in London more or less won

I know I won't be able to rest my head until I

Till I see San Diego sun

So

Don't get married before I make it back to California

I could never forgive myself for letting you slip away

Couldn't ask you to wait for me, I don't know how long

That I will be so

I'll just hope that you-

I'll just hope that you-

Yeah I'll just hope that you-

Don't get married before I make it back to California

I could never forgive myself for letting you slip away

Couldn't ask you to wait for me, I don't know how long

That I will be so

I'll just hope that you-

I'll just hope that you-

Yeah I'll just hope that you wait...
