Working all day and the Sun don't shine
Trying to get by and I'm just killin' time
I feel the rain fall the whole night through
Far away from you, California blue
California blue
Dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do
California blue
Everyday I pray
I'll be on my way
Saving love for you
California blue
One sunny day
I'll get back again
Somehow, someway
But I don't know when
California blue
California blue
Living my life with you on my mind
Thinking of things that I left far behind
It's been so long doing all I can do
To get back to you, California blue
California blue
Dreaming all alone
Nothing else to do
California blue
Everyday I pray
I'll be on my way
Saving love for you
California blue
One sunny day
I'll get back again
Somehow, someway
But I don't know when
California blue
California blue
Still missing you
California blue
