In Old California with You 1932

There's a land in the golden west
Of all the rest I love the best
For I miss two sweet eyes of blue
And I wonder if they miss me, too

There, 'mid the sunshine and flowers so rare
My Rose so fair waits for me there
Where long ago in the moonlight
our love dreams we planned
Just dreaming as we wandered hand in hand
Oh, Rose! I pray for California and you
When I'm away I feel so lonesome and blue
But someday I'll wander again down the lane
In old California with you

There, 'mid the sunshine and flowers so rare
My Rose so fair waits for me there
Where long ago in the moonlight
our love dreams we planned
Just dreaming as we wandered hand in hand
Oh, Rose! I pray for California and you
When I'm away I feel so lonesome and blue
But someday I'll wander again down the lane
In old California with you

To the Rose that I call my own
I'm going home no more to roam
California, I long to be
With the one who's waiting there for me

There, 'mid the sunshine and flowers so rare
My Rose so fair waits for me there
Where long ago in the moonlight
our love dreams we planned
Just dreaming as we wandered hand in hand
Oh, Rose! I pray for California and you
When I'm away I feel so lonesome and blue
But someday I'll wander again down the lane
In old California with you

There, 'mid the sunshine and flowers so rare
My Rose so fair waits for me there
Where long ago in the moonlight
our love dreams we planned
Just dreaming as we wandered hand in hand
Oh, Rose! I pray for California and you
When I'm away I feel so lonesome and blue
But someday I'll wander again down the lane
In old California with you
