Once I met a girl
Many thousand miles away
Many thousand days, it seems
Since last I saw her face
I held her in my arms
Thought I heard her singing
Something soft and sweet
So unlike these California Blues
I've got California Blues
Sitting in the tree outside my window
Their song is anything but sweet
Anything but happy...
California Blues
When I looked in her eyes
I saw nothing there
Just like she didn't care
And so I sadly turned away
When I looked back again
I didn't recognize
The sorrow in her eyes
Until I heard the California Blues
I've got California Blues
Sitting in the tree outside my window
Their song is anything but sweet
Anything but happy...
California Blues
So now I'm walking home
Got starlight in my eyes
Still it's not as bright
As those dreams that linger in the night
But when I think of her
Gotta fight away that frown
I've got nothing hanging down on me
Like these California Blues
I've got California Blues
Sitting in the tree outside my window
Their song is anything but sweet
Anything but happy...
California Blues
I've got California Blues
Sitting in the tree outside my window
Their song is anything but sweet
Anything but happy...
California Blues
