California's Not What It Used to Be
She was all but forgotten
The night the telephone rang
An old familiar voice
An old familiar pain
Said, I've been thinking
About what you said
And California's not what it used to be
Her eyes were smiling
When I opened the door
She kissed me on the lips
Like so many years before
Said, You don't look different
Ah but my you have changed
And California's not what it used to be
Oh
There she was
Oh
I loved her so much
Woke in the morning
She was by my side
She whispered softly
I guess this is goodbye
Said Ain't it funny
How things turn out
And California's not what it used to be
