California Sad-Eyed Girl

What do you think when you think of me?
Do you? Do you?
What am I in your history?
Am I? Am I?
So unfair to throw such perfection at a face so full of future
Starlight in my eyes, didn’t realize - it was you

Where’s it written? How was I to know?
Tell me. Tell me
Should have never let the first love go
You knew. You told me
New Year’s Eve, we celebrated
With a toast you told this future
Still, I see those eyes, beautiful eyes
How could I not have known?

You’ll always be the summer in my winter world
My California sad-eyed girl
I need to know - Are we still in your mind?
And come one day, impossible as it may seem, I can dream
At the end of this road somewhere, you wait for me

Saw the letter, saw the words he wrote to you. to you
Knew the secrets only we could know, only you
Pick-up trucks, San Bernardino
With each word such hope, such romance
Then he signed his name - my name
Where is that boy now?

Chorus x2

You will be
You will be
You will always be
