Before the Great Depression In the Land of the Free We sailed off for Havana You were lying next to me The California Coast Became an island in the sun We'd smile and drink a toast The glory days were done I may not see tomorrow If I can't have you now I swear until the day I die I'll get you back somehow It's raining in Havana And your still on my mind If I could only have you back again We'd leave this world behind Now we hang at the U.S.O. Drinking Cuban Rum The place is full of women From the Valley of the Sun People chop their coke up On the Pac-Man machines The past is just a memory The future's just a dream I may not see tomorrow
If I can't have you now I swear until the day I die I'll get you back somehow It's raining in Havana And your still on my mind If I could only have you back again We'd leave this world behind We'd leave this world behind You're still on my mind The California Coast Became an island in the sun We'd smile and drink a toast The glory days were done I may not see tomorrow If I can't have you now I swear until the day I die I'll get you back somehow It's raining in Havana And your still on my mind If I could only have you back again We'd leave this world behind Yeah... We'd leave this world behind We'd leave this world behind
