Here In California

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
