"California" lyrics

Looking back on the joy that you'd bring
How we'd laugh at some strange, twisted thing
And acts of love that I felt it wise to deny
Now I try to remind myself why?

All I have, all I have of California, all I have
Is one regret, one mistake that I could never understand:
Why I never held your hand?

It's the words on your note I endeared
How it wasn't the end that you feared
But it passing by in the blink of an eye
Now I cry every day, every night

All I have, all I have of California, all I have
Is one regret, one mistake that I could never understand:
Why I never held your hand?

I never held
(I never held)
No, I never held
(I never held)
I never held
(I never held)
No, I never held
(I never)

All I have, all I have of California, all I have
Is one regret, one mistake that I could never understand:
Why I never held
Why I never held your hand?
