I see colors in my mind But this world is black and white I see colors in my head When I close my eyes and go to bed I know it seems like I'm moving on But really we have only just begun So let me tell you how it is The lights of Los Angeles I wish you didn't have to miss The lights of Los Angeles See the city and the ocean mist I wish you could be here for this I wish you could be here for this Feel the warmth of the ocean wind And the taste of salt on the tip of my lips Give me a smoke, come fill my lungs As I stare out into the sun And I know it seems like I changed my mind Good things always take a little time So let me tell you how it is The lights of Los Angeles I wish you didn't have to miss The lights of Los Angeles See the city and the ocean mist I wish you could be here for this I wish you didn't have to miss I wish you didn't have to I wish you could be here for this I close my eyes and count to ten To see those colors once again So let me tell you how it is The lights of Los Angeles I wish you didn't have to miss The lights of Los Angeles See the city and the ocean mist I know it seems like I changed my mind Good things always take a little time
