Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel your hand touchin' mine
And tell me why I must keep workin' on
Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
[Verse 2]
I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my star bed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm a lover's glass like a friendly wine
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
[Verse 3]
I'd like to rest a heavy head tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight
On a bed of California stars
I'd love to feel your hand touching mine
And tell me why I must keep working on
Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight
On a bed of California stars
[Verse 4]
I'd like to dream my troubles all away
On a bed of California stars
Jump up from my star bed and make another day
Underneath my California stars
They hang like grapes on vines that shine
And warm a lover's glass like a friendly wine
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
[Outro]
So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of California stars
Dream a dream with you
