vWrite 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 But 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. 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 pier With all the sights and sounds of Santa Monica still ringing in my ears. I'm wishing you were here. Write a song about California he said. I think it's something everybody's got to do before they're dead, But I wrote this song about you instead. 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. Sunsets a backdown venus beach. Famous names that wrap my feet. Downscale folks with upscale parties Let's do lunch, let's do pilate's Wasting minds for perfect bodies 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.
