"California" by Shannon Hurley

CALIFORNIA Words and Music by Shannon Hurley Copyright 2008
I pack my bags with a heavy heart He waits for me outside I close the door on these memories To start a different life
I had my doubts but it's time to move It's all about trying something new Though I know I still belong to you I say goodbye
To California It's good to know you Now the summer sun goes down in California Still I wonder What I'd ever be without you California You will always be my home.
I taste the mist in your salty breeze I feel your clear blue sky Retrace my steps on your sandy beach To the place I used to hide
One last dance on the water's edge One last hope i the wishing well One last dream when I close my eyes Don't break the spell
California It's good to know you Now the summer sun goes down in California Still I wonder What I'd ever be without you California You will always be my home.
