Lyrics
California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I don't think it's odd
To stand before god
And solemnly swear when there's love in the air
And I don't think it's weird
When the one thing you fear
Is losing the one thing that's holding you dear
Well I don't think it's strange
I don't think it's insane
It turns the world around
All the birds keeping singing
And the bells keep ringing
And the heart keeps bringing you home to
California
Where the warm sun shines
California
Hear the wind blowing chimes
Californ-i-a
Though you're far away
Your love is here today
True love in your heart
Like a flame in the dark
May you have may you hold
Till death do you part
'Cause two of a kind
It ain't easy to find
Coming out of the gloomy
And led by the blind
It don't take much to see
That what's meant to be
Is right in front of me
When the birds keeping singing
And the bells keep ringing
And the heart keeps bringing you home to
California
Where the warm sun shines
California
Hear the wind blowing chimes
Californ-i-a
Though you're far away
Your love is here today
We're sitting on a real celebration
Thank heavens what a fine situation
Shoot the cannon blow the horn
Love is born in California
