v[00:09.39]Write a song about California, he said
[00:13.43]Write a song about California,
[00:15.51]he said to me before I left
[00:17.43]But I think I'll write a song about him instead.
[00:24.06]Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood hill
[00:28.80]Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place,
[00:31.58]Maybe I never will
[00:33.09]But I'm thinkin' bout you still.
[00:37.72]Walking down Sunset Boulevard
[00:42.02]Never thought writing a song about some place could be this hard
[00:47.29]With you, I don't know where to start.
[00:52.59]Here's to the boy
[00:54.46]Who keeps me up all night,
[00:56.42]Who sings exactly right,
[00:58.11]And never lets me know
[01:01.19]Here's to the one
[01:03.14]The one with the bright eyes,
[01:05.18]Who makes me realize,
[01:07.64]I got a long long way to go to California.
[01:19.64]Now I am standing on this pier
[01:24.05]With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears.
[01:29.25]I'm wishing you were here.
[01:32.93]Write a song about California he said.
[01:37.20]I think it's something everybody's got to do before they're dead,
[01:40.95]But I wrote this song about you instead.
[01:48.04]Here's to the boy
[01:49.91]Who keeps me up all night,
[01:51.80]Who sings exactly right,
[01:53.86]And never lets me know
[01:57.01]Here's to the one
[01:58.46]The one with the bright eyes,
[02:00.77]Who makes me realize,
[02:03.67]I got a long long way to go to California.
[02:14.46] Sunsets a backdown venus beach.
[02:18.62]Famous names that wrap my feet.
[02:22.53]Downscale folks with upscale parties
[02:25.01]Let's do lunch, let's do pilate's
[02:27.19]Wasting minds for perfect bodies
[02:45.52]Here's to the boy
[02:47.79]Who keeps me up all night,
[02:49.87]Who sings exactly right,
[02:51.83]And never lets me know
[02:54.87]Here's to the one
[02:56.47]The one with the bright eyes,
[02:58.80]Who makes me realize,
[03:01.40]I got a long long way to go to California.
