Píseň: California Stars
I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight On a bed of California stars I'd love to feel your hand touching mine And ell me why i must keep working on Yes, I'd give my life to lay my head tonight On a bed of California stars I'd like to dream my troubles all away On a bed of California stars Jump up from my starbed and make another day Underneath my California stars They hang like grapes on vines that shine And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine So, I'd give this world just to dream a dream with you On our bed of California stars
