I guess I forgot what it was like to be younger Hearing the Beatles for the first time Not afraid to dream cause I still had my sense of wonder You remind me what it feels like Your eyes take me right back to California Summer 18, I said I'd always love you I meant it then, I mean it now, I'd do the whole thing over Take me back to that summer in California California Summer in California I guess I forgot what it was like to be lonely Raindrops on Ocean Avenue You brought the heat to Pasadena And the light in the sky on the fourth of July Is a night that I'll never forget Your eyes take me right back to California Summer 18, I said I'd always love you I meant it then, I mean it now, I'd do the whole thing over Take me back to that summer in California The night that you left when you said that you missed me I knew that you meant it the way that you kissed me I swear I can still hear the sound of the ocean And strawberry fields underneath the explosions I knew I'd never let you go I still see the afterglow Your eyes take me right back to California Summer 18, I said I'd always love you I meant it then, I mean it now, I'd do the whole thing over Take me back to that summer in California California Summer in California
