Here in California Songtext
von Caroline Herring

When I was young my mama told me
She said child take your time
Don′t fall in love too quickly
Before you know your mind

She held me 'round the shoulders
In a voice so soft and kind
She said love can make you happy
Love can rob you blind

Here in California
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine
And there′s no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

Now I may learn to love you
But I can't say when
This morning we were strangers
And tonight we′re only friends


I′ll take my time to know you
I'll take my time to see
There′s nothing that I won't show you
If you take your time with me

Here in California
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine
And there′s no gold, I thought I'd warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

There′s an old familiar story
An old familiar rhyme
To everything, there is a season
To every purpose, there's a time

A time to love and come together
A time when love longs for an end
A time for questions we can't answer
Though we ask them just the same

Here in California
The fruit hangs heavy on the vine
And there′s no gold, I thought I′d warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime

And there's no gold, I thought I′d warn you
And the hills turn brown in the summertime
