With a tear in my eye
And not a cloud in the sky
I watched you leave
I watched you grieve
You gave me a wink
And said everything will be all right
You gave a warm embrace
A feeling I’ll never replace
In my heart I know you’ll return
In My mind lay no concern
‘Cause I know you’re here
But…My heart is in California
You lay in the summer Sun
You say
“Wow, I’m having so much fun”
You roam the streets of LA
You say “Oh my, what a day”
I lay alone in our cold bed
All I think is…
“My Heart is in California”
Praying for the day you arrive
Hoping that I’ll survive
Wishing I could kiss you
Wishing I could touch you
With the fear of loss
I reach for empty air
In my mind I see your smile
A sight I won’t see for a long while
Your shimmering green eyes
A glimmer of love that could never lie
I know you’re here
But…My heart is in California
You lay in the summer Sun
You say
“Wow, I’m having so much fun”
You roam the streets of LA
You say “Oh my, what a day”
I lay alone in our cold bed
All I think is…
“My Heart is in California”
