I love you, California, you're the greatest state of all,

I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall,

I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore,

I love your grand old ocean and I love your rugged shore.



Refrain:

Where the snow crowned Golden Sierras

Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,

It is there I would be in our land by the sea,

Every breeze bearing rich perfume.

It is here nature gives of her rarest,

It is Home sweet home to me,

And I know when I die,

I shall breathe my last sigh

For my sunny California.



I love your redwood forests,

love your fields of yellow grain,

I love your summer breezes

And I love your winter rain.

I love you ,land of flowers;

Land of honey, fruit and wine.

I love you, California;

you have won this heart of mine. (Refrain)



I love your old gray missions,

love your vineyards stretching far.

I love you, California

with your golden gate ajar.

I love you purple sunsets,

Love your skies of azure blue,

I love you, California;I just can't help loving you. (Refrain)



I love you, Catalina,

You are very dear to me,

I love you Tamalpais,

and I love Yosemite.

I love you, land of sunshine,

Half your beauties are untold,

I loved you in my childhood,

and I'll love you when I'm old. (Refrain)
