Lyrics
Please come home from California 2001
I just called to thank you for your letter
And that post card from the beach saying ?Wish you were here.?
And thanks for the picture with your friends all around the table
That picture makes everything perfectly clear
Is that him there with you at the picture?
Is he why you?re smiling and staying far away?
Does he know that I?m back here waiting for you?
Or does he think that you?re in California to stay?
CHORUS
Please come back from California
You so far away is going to break my heart
Please come back, I?m trying to warn ya
California?s breaking/tearing me/us apart
You need time, you said, to think it over
And to take care of some things you should have seen to long ago
Thirty days seems more like for ever
How long does it take for one heart to know?
So I just called to thank you for your letter
And try to make you listen to the words I want to say
I just want to tell you that I love you/miss you
And I wish that you were holding me saying ?everything?s OK.?
CHORUS: Please come back?
So, please send me no more letters
I don?t want to think about what you might want to write
I just want to tell you that I love you
And I wish that you were holding me saying ?Everything?s all right?
