I watch how the water 
Rolls off your hair 
While sweet smell of Jasmine 
Floats in the air 

Ooh those dreamy thoughts 
Of summertime 
Flow gentle on my mind 
I can’t help remembering 
The things I left behind 

In those lazy days 
In that summer haze 
Ooh sweet California sun 
Ooh the skies were blue 
For just me and you 
In that sweet California sun 

Now this cold air keeps me breathing 
But I feel so alone 
There’s a cloud in my sunlight 
The clear skies are gone 

Ooh I need warmth in my wintertime 
To keep away these blues 
My heart dreams of Hollywood 
And times I once knew 

In those lazy days 
In that summer haze 
Ooh sweet California sun 
Ooh the skies were blue 
For just me and you 
In that sweet California sun 
Ooh in that sweet California sun 

I need warmth in my wintertime 
To keep away these blues 
There’s a cloud in my sunlight 
The clear skies are gone 

Ooh sweet California 
Sweet California sun 


Those lazy days 
In that summer haze 
Ooh sweet California sun 
The skies were blue 
For just me and you 
In that sweet California sun 
That sweet California sun 
That sweet California sun
