I'd like to rest my heavy head tonight

On a bed of california stars

I'd like to lay my weary bones tonight

On a bed of california stars



I'd love to feel your hand touching mine

And tell me why i must keep working on

Yes, i'd give my life to lay my head tonight

On a bed of california stars



I'd like to dream my troubles all away

On a bed of california stars

Jump up from my starbed and make another day

Underneath my california stars



They hang like grapes on vines that shine

And warm the lovers glass lke friendly wine

So, i'd give this world

Just to dream a dream with you

On our bed of california stars
