When you said you were leaving
Boy, I nearly lost my mind
You said the grass was greener
Over on the other side
And you took off for the promised land
With the stardust in your eyes
The love I thought I gave to you
Was somehow left behind
Goodbye lost you to L.A.
So long, so long
I hope you find your way
I gave you all my love
I gave it all away and lost you to L.A.
Everyone is heading west
With a dream inside their mind
And they say you can buy your freedom
With the meaning that you find
But there's no freedom to be found
Unless you look inside their mind
And when you find you're dreaming
There's no place left to hide
So take your dreams and fly to old L.A.
So long hope you have some good one
Along the way I gave you all my love
I gave it all away and lost you to L.A.
Somehow these restless nights
Just keep on coming on
Somehow this feeling just won't let me be
Sometimes the pain of love makes me
Weepy but I'll be strong another day
It'll hold on another day
So journey up to the wings of a dream
Sail outside my mind
This restless feeling's getting
Stronger all the time
Meet me up on a starry side
Of the California sun
I'll be calling out for you
Cause baby
You're the only one
Goodbye lost you to L.A.
So long, so long
I hope you find your way
I gave you all my love
I gave it all away and lost you to L.A.
So take your dreams and fly to old L.A.
So long, so long
Hope you have some good one
Along the way I gave you all my love
I gave it all away and lost you to L.A.
I lost you baby.
