I love you, California lyrics

I.

I love you, California,

You're the greatest state of all.

I love you in the winter,

Summer, spring and in the fall.

I love your fertile valleys;

Your dear mountains I adore.

I love your grand old ocean

And I love her rugged shore.

(REF

When the snow crowned Golden Sierras

Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom,

It is there I would be in our land by the sea,

Every breeze bearing rich perfume.

It is here nature gives of her rarest.

It is Home Sweet Home to me,

And I know when I die

I shall breathe my last sigh

For my sunny California.

II.

I love your red-wood forests -

Love your fields of yellow grain.

I love your summer breezes

And I love your winter rain.

I love you, land of flowers;

Land of honey, fruit and wine.

I love you, California;

You have won this heart of mine.

III.

I love your old gray Missions -

Love your vineyards stretching far.

I love you, California,

With your Golden Gate ajar.

I love your purple sun-sets,

Love your skies of azure blue.

I love you, California;

I just can't help loving you.

IV.

I love you, Catalina,

You are very dear to me.

I love you, Tamalpais,

And I love Yosemite.

I love you, Land of Sunshine,

Half your beauties are untold.

I loved you in my childhood,

And I'll love you when I'm old.
