Last night I had a dream that I’d done things differently

And I’d let you go back to Chicago

Where the lake is clear and wide you can’t see the other side

And the folks are real, they’ll tell you how they feel

So I stayed on the fairer coast until I became a ghost

Oh fantasy, let this poor girl be

City of angels, You’re no good for me



Well there’s no use in regret

Some things I’d just soon forget

Jesus loves me this I know

Cuz’ my momma told me so

And the sun don’t always shine in this crazy life of mine

You can’t wash away the pain

Yeah, when it never rains

I don’t need to be no star down on Sunset Boulevard

Livin an empty dream

Where things ain’t what they seem

City of angels, you’re no good for me



City of angels, city of angels

You got me wrapped around your little finger

Into the fire, sweet city of angels



Last night I had a dream that I’d done things differently

And I let you go, yeah I had to let you go



City of angels, city of angels

You got me wrapped around your little finger

Into the fire, sweet city of angels
