Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Workin' all day and the sun don't shine
Tryin' to get by and I'm just killin' time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you, California blue
[Verse 2]
California blue dreamin' all alone (California blue, California blue)
Nothing else to do, California blue (California blue)
Everyday I pray I'll be on my way
Savin' love for you, California blue
[Verse 3]
One sunny day, I'll get back again
Somehow, someway but I don't know when
[Verse 4]
California blue, California blue
[Verse 5]
Livin' my life with you on my mind
Thinkin' of things that I left far behind
It's been so long, doin' all I can do
To get back to you, California blue
[Verse 6]
California blue dreamin' all alone (California blue, California blue)
Nothing else to do, California blue (California blue)
Everyday I pray I'll be on my way
Savin' love for you, California blue
[Verse 7]
One sunny day, I'll get back again
Somehow, someway but I don't know when
[Verse 8]
California blue, California blue
Still missin' you, California blue
Still missin' you, California blue
Still missin' you, California blue
