Music (ASCAP) Instrumentation- Johnny Scott Clear blue skies, a hesitating sunrise, Fresh cool air that sends us seasons of a new year It's a paradise, nothing can compare. You'll see palm trees amid festivities, but you won't miss the evergreens. Leave your coat behind when you're strolling 'round town 'cause it don't get chilly 'til the sun goes down! Chorus It's a California holiday I know it's December but it feels like May 1x) Seagulls up above singin' songs of joy as if they know the hopes of every girl and boy 2x) Surfers dashin' thru the caps of white Hangin' ten you know it makes their spirits bright 3x) The ocean breeze ringing thru the shells Sounds more beautiful than any silver bell It's the time of year when dreams are made I wish life could be a California holiday Christmas eve, headin' for the beach Gatherin' round the fire for a Christmas feast. When the waves are breakin' in, the Yuletide is complete. Children makin' angels in the sand, Searchin' the sky for the man from toyland. Snuggle up together beneath the moonlight Singin' carols to the King of a silent night. Chorus
