Lyrics
California (Stacy Cole)
California, I've been away too long
Come now beside me, we'll sing a song
Oh California, you're gonna save the world
Oh can I be your special girl
They will try
To come between us, every time
But they don't know
Our love is growing, more and more
California, I left my home
Will you take me into your arms
We'll grow some gardens and feel the sun
We'll have each other, and never be alone
Ooooo..
All my my, love now, all my my...
They will try
To bring us down with their lies
But they don't know
That we are on the rise
California, you're my destiny
Oh California, will you marry me?
Out on the edge, there's nowhere left to run
So take my hand, and we'll shoot our guns
Ooooo...
All my my, love now, all my my...
