There's a place I know,
Where the redwoods blow,
Where the Colorado River feeds the sea,
If you'd care to share it with me.
There are wide blue skies,
In your cloudless eyes,
And I think that California is what they see,
Will you come to California with me?
Oh the sun grows warm,
In the blue California dawn,
As it rises from the ocean like a burning tree,
Will you come to California with me?
And the moon glows pale,
As a great white whale,
As we sailed to Chattanooga on the Robert E. Lee,
Will you come to California with me?
Have you seen the Dow Jones?
Or the Monument Valley Stones?
Where they buried all the giants after Wounded Knee,
Will you come to California with me?
All the Presidents are smiling in a line,
In the hills behind the Hollywood sign,
Where it overlooks the Statue of Liberty,
Will you come to California with me?
?
If I stay here, I'll freeze,
Will you come to California, please?
Will you do me this one favour before you leave
And come to California?
*Play the same chord progression as Instrumental *
All the dreams you killed,
Do you dream them still? ?
Are they there in California? Wait and see,
And come to California with me.
And we'll cruise along Broadway in a 'Model T',
When you come to California with me.
When you come to California with me.
I'll be brave, and you'll be free,
When you come to California with me.
