Woke up two hours too late, can’t say I regret it
Cause it was two hours I didn't have to miss your face
Rolled out of bed, put my make up on
Thumbed through the mail, and I found your postcard

It had an ocean view, said, "I miss you - p.s. I wish you were here"
So as you head out West to find yourself, just know I’ll be right here
With the letter you sent, that’s on my desk, that's the closest I'll ever get
To California, to California...

Two months have gone, we've got three more to go, it's so quiet here without you
But you're out there fighting for love, so I'll settle for letters till you return

It had an ocean view, said, "I miss you; p.s. I wish you were here"
So as you head out West to find yourself, just know I’ll be right here
With the letter you sent, that’s on my desk, that's the closest I'll ever get
To California, to California...

When you see the blue skies, and see the sunrise, remember where you come from
When you hit the long road, and feel all alone, remember we're still here
When you see the blue skies, and see the sunrise, remember where you come from
When you hit the long road, and feel all alone, remember we're still here

It had an ocean view, said, "I miss you - p.s. I wish you were here
So as you head out West to find yourself, just know I’ll be right here
With the letter you sent, that’s on my desk, that's the closest I'll ever get
To California, to California, oh, to California
