California Here I Come

California here I come,
Right back where I started from,
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun,
Each morning at dawning

A sun-kiss'd miss said, "don't be late,"
That's why I can hardly wait,
Open up that golden gate,
California here I come!

Can't help singing of a promise that April is bringing,

There are bells in my heart and they're ringing.

I can't help what they say,
Spring affects me this way,
And I gotta keep singing all day.

Curse of an Aching Heart, The

You made me what I am today, I hope you're satisfied,
You dragged and dragged me down until the soul within me died.
You've shattered each and every dream, fooled me right from the start.
And though you're not true, may God bless you,
That's the curse of an aching heart.
