California Promises

By: Steve Goodman

1983

Beneath the moonlit sky

Shadows walk beside the water

Sad goodbye whispered on the shore

Hear those wind chimes play

They serenade the shadow lovers

Ring and fade away

Like California promises

I will never love another

Wait for me, 'til I return

But she never will

He waits for her beside the water

Faithful still

To California promises

(guitar solo)

I will never love another

Wait for me, 'til I return

Though she never will

He waits for her beside the water

Faithful still

To California promises

(guitar solo)
