I love You California

Written by F. B. Silverwood

I love you California . . . you're the greatest state of all . . .

I love you in the winter, summer, spring, and in the fall.

I love your fertile valleys, your dear mountains I adore.

I love your grand old ocean and I love her rugged shore.

CHORUS

When the snow crowned Golden Sierras, Keep their watch o'er the valleys bloom.

It is there I would be in our land by the sea, Every breeze bearing rich perfume.

It is here nature gives of her rarest. It is Home Sweet Home to me.

And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh, For my sunny California.

I love your redwood forests - love your fields of yellow grain.

I love your summer breezes, and I love your winter rain.

I love you, land of flowers; land of honey, fruit and wine.

I love you, California; you have won this heart of mine.

I love your old gray Missions - love your vineyards stretching far.

I love you, California, with your Golden Gate ajar.

I love your purple sunsets, love your skies of azure blue.

I love you, California; I just can't help loving you.

I love you, Catalina - you are very dear to me.

I love you, Tamalpais, and I love Yosemite.

I love you, Land of Sunshine.

Half your beauties are untold.

I loved you in my childhood, and I'll love you when I'm old.
