lyrics

I want to take you to California
Watch the sun disappear
Over endless deep blue oceans
In the half light I’ll hold you near
I want to kiss you in technicolor
Like the stars of yesteryear
As the credits slowly roll
I’ll whisper in your ear

Our hearts were lost
Somewhere back in time
Our hearts were lost
Come and sing with me tonight
This lovelorn lullaby

I want to take you to California
Where the truth of fiction abides
In the stories we like to tell
Each other in the dead of night
Let's drive down to the canyon
In the haze of the seventies
Strum my guitar and make it sing
Those cowboy songs so sweet

Yeah, our hearts were lost
Somewhere back in time
Our hearts were lost
Come and sing with me tonight
This lovelorn lullaby

Yeah, our hearts were lost
Somewhere back in time
Our hearts were lost
Come and sing with me tonight
This lovelorn lullaby
