I love You
California
Written by F. B.
Silverwood
Composed by A.
F. Frankenstein
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.
chorus
I love your
redwood 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.
chorus
I love your old
gray Missions -
love your
vineyards
streteching far,
I love you,
California, with
your Golden Gate
ajar,
I love your
purple sunsets,
love your skies
of azure blue,
I love you,
California; I
just can't help
loving you.
chorus
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.
chorus
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,
Ev'ry 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.
