Write a song about California,
He said
Write a song about California,
He said to me before i left
But i, think i'll write a song about him instead.

Now, I'm sitting up on Hollywood Hill
Can't think of a single thing to sing about this place, 
maybe i never will
Oo, I'm thinkin' bout you still.

Walking down Sunset Boulevard
Never thought writing a song about some place could be 
this hard
With you I don't know where to start.

[Chorus:]

Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know

Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.

Now I am standing on this peer
With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still 
ringing in my ears.
Oh I'm wishing you were here.

Write a song about California he said.
Think of something everybody's got to do before their 
dead,
But i wrote this song about you instead.

[Chorus:]

Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know
No, no

Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.

Sunsets a back down Venus Beach.
Famous names that wrap my feet.

Lets do lunch, lets do Palate's

Wasting minds for perfect bodies

[Chorus:]

Here's to the boy
Who keeps me up all night,
Who sings exactly right,
And never lets me know
No, no

Here's to the one
The one with the bright eyes,
Who makes me realize,
I got a long long way to go to California.

Ooo California-a-a
