Lyrics:

  • I’d like to rest my heavy head tonight
  • On a bed of California stars
  • I’d like to lay my weary bones tonight
  • On a bed of California stars
  • I’d love to feel your hand touching mine
  • And ell me why i must keep working on
  • Yes, I’d give my life to lay my head tonight
  • On a bed of California stars

  • I’d like to dream my troubles all away
  • On a bed of California stars
  • Jump up from my starbed and make another day
  • Underneath my California stars
  • They hang like grapes on vines that shine
  • And warm the lovers glass like friendly wine
  • So, I’d give this world just to dream a dream with you
  • On our bed of California stars
