I can see it all now.

I will never forget

what you meant to me.

Don't have a single regret.

And I was feelin' alright

when it was just me and you.



We loved with all of our might.

That's all we wanted to do.

There ain't a lot we had to know

except that I wanted you

to be wherever I'd go.

Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?

Nobody's gonna replace

all that we shared with each other in those days,

back in those sweet L.A. days,

sweet L.A. days.



No one could ever replace

how on a Saturday night

we would jump in your car

and how we'd drive through the night

and maybe not get that far.

There wasn't much we had to learn

except that we knew the road would take us through every turn.



Will anything ever be sweeter than those days?

Nobody's gonna replace all that we shared

with each other in those days,

back in those sweet L.A. days, sweet L.A. days.



Ooee baby it's takin' me back,

back to those L.A. days,

sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet L.A. days.

They can't be taken away,

not those L.A. days, no,

those L.A. days,

sweet L.A. days
