California Girl - Buy it at iTunes Words and music by Robin Frederick Vocals & Synths: Robin Frederick Guitar: Mike Sims Drum Programming: Roy Campanella III & Robin Frederick I wrote a message in the sand Then the waves took it away To a place where you are standing And maybe you will read it. I am living in paradise At least it would be paradise If only you were here And not so many miles away Do you think of me and feel the shelter Do you think of me and feel the warmth Do you remember... When we caught the wave together And we held a perfect world When I was your California Girl. You caught the summer in your arms Held as tight as you could hold But the seasons kept on turning And took you to your winter. Are you watching far from here Ships that rise and disappear And flying fish like silver arrows Broken by the moon? Do you ever dream of blood red sunsets Do you feel the fire in your skin Do you remember... When we caught the wave together And we held a perfect world When I was your California Girl. Lemonade and sushi for breakfast Sea spray and salt on your hands If only I could make time stand still. Do you think of me and feel the shelter Do you think of me and feel the warmth Do you remember... When we caught the wave together And we held a perfect world When I was your California Girl. |
