Before California

I’m drivin’ home,
six o’clock in the morning
Sun’s barely up
and it’s warning me
that tonight I should be
with you again
Finding no peace
until I can hold you,
kiss you,
repeat what I told you
See, tonight we’ll
do everything we can
Before too long
I will miss you, girl
It’s just so wrong
not to kiss you, girl
Before too long,
you’ll be long gone

So, before California,
let me give you
something you can keep
Before California,
I’ll make you want to
come home back to me

Couldn’t get to sleep,
I just want to call you
to hear your voice
Please do all you can
to bring me back
to be with you again
Finding it hard
to concentrate on
what I’m doing
It’s barely five hours
since when you and me
spent hours spending
what time we can
Before too long
I won’t see your face
Will your love still be strong
in a different place?
Before too long,
you’ll be long gone

So, before California,
let me give you
something you can keep
Before California,
I’ll make you want to
come home back to me

We’re so poor on time
until you’re on your way,
so let’s spend it right
before it fades away
We’ll ignore the stars and the sunrise
It’s you and me tonight
I’ll make up for the time we’ll lose
and take up all this time with you

So, before California,
let me give you
something you can keep
Before California,
I’ll make you want to
come home back to me
Before California
Yeah, before California
Yeah, before California
Yeah, before California
Yeah, before California
Yeah, before California
Yeah, before California
