I waited for you
   You waited for me
   That it seemed like, seemed like a mighty long time
  
   Baby I had to have you
   Oh, I had to have you
   Come rain, rain or shine
  
   It was a cold wind in August
   Shivers up and down my spine
   I was standin' in your garden
   In the California pine
  
   I was standing shivering
   I've got the fever in the rain
   But I can't come on back to see you
   Again and again and again
  
   I said I, I had to have you
   Baby I had to have you
   Come rain, come rain or shine
  
   It was a cold wind in August
   Shivers up and down my spine
   And I was standing in your garden
  
   In the California pine
   California pine
  
   (instrumental)
  
   It was a cold wind in August
   Shivers up and down my spine
   I was standin' in your garden
   In the California pine
   In the California pine It was a cold wind in August
   I was pushed on through September
   Oh pushin' through September
   In the rain
   Pushin' through, pushin' through September
   In the rain
  
   Ooh
   It was a cold wind in August
   Shivers up and down my spine
   I was standin' standin' in your garden
   In the California pine
