This is the place... they say
|
|
[talking]
|
People come from far, far, far away to find their dreams
|
Chasin' down these meteors and comets
|
(chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em down)
|
Called dreams, in the sky of life
|
(chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em down
|
chasin' 'em, chasin' 'em) There certain hot spots
|
Where these meteors and stars have tendency to fall
|
And legend has it that California is one of those spots
|
I believe that to be true
|
|
[singing]
|
They say this is the place stars are born
|
They say this is the place (place) legends are made
|
They say this is the place where angels come again, ay ay
|
They say that this is the place where it all can happen for you
|
(for you, for you, for you)
|
California knows how to make dreams seem so sweet
|
California knows how to-
|
Whisper in your ear and tell ya you're a star
|
You're a star, you're a star, you're a star, you're a star (star)
|
You're a star and you keep on shinin'

All the way from L.A. to the Bay (indeed)
|
Stars fall down here, that's what they say (indeed)
|
All the way from L.A. to the Bay (indeed)
