I remember long ago
  How I wondered where I'd go
  While the blizzards,
  cold wind and snow
  Pounded outside my window.
    California sunset
  Going down in the West
  All the colors in the sky
  Kiss another day goodbye.
    Land of beauty,
  space and light
  Land of promise,
  land of might
  You're my home now
  and it's true
  California, here's to you.
    California sunset
  Going down in the West
  All the colors in the sky
  Kiss another day goodbye.
    California sunset
  Going down in the West
  All the colors in the sky
  Kiss another day goodbye.
    The golden state!
