Here in California

Lyrics

VERSE 1
 When I was young my mother told me
 She said son take your time
 Don't fall in love too quickly
 Before you know your mind
 She held me around the shoulders
 And in a voice soft and kind
 She said love can make you happy
 And love can rob you blind
 CHORUS
 Here in California fruit hangs heavy on the vines
 There's no gold I thought I'd warn you
 And the hills turn brown in the summertime
 VERSE 2
 Will I may learn to love you
 But I can't say when
 This morning we were strangers
 Tonight we're only friends
 But I'll take the time to know you
 I'll take the time to see
 There's nothing that I won't show you
 If you take your time with me
 CHORUS
 Here in California fruit hangs heavy on the vines
 There's no gold I thought I'd warn you
 But the hills turn brown in the summertime
 SOLO
 It
