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 gla** lke friendly wine
So, i'd give this world
Just to dream a dream with you
On our bed of california stars
