Bright-eyed lover in California Sun I've never seen you there, but the image isn't hard Greatest escape on my couch in the afternoon I think the Sun is goin' down there Orange-yellow evening cools I always find you somewhere I feel lost Is the ocean breeze too much? I thought we could come here to cool off The days don't last long enough to fill my cup Maybe afternoon coffee before the boardwalk fills right up I'll fly home in a minute Maybe that's when I'll hear the choir sing Or maybe just your American impressions Makin' me smile as I fall asleep Bright-eyed friend, I breathe your air wishfully Not tryin' to control this, but the coins stack up in the stream Can we share the laughter over the same jokes every night? You know they never seem to get old Think they'll stand the test of time I'll fly home in a minute Maybe that's when I'll hear the choir sing Or maybe just your American impressions Makin' me smile as I fall asleep Bright-eyed lover in California Sun I've never seen you there, but the image isn't hard
