When you said you were leaving, boy

I nearly lost my mind

You said the grass was greener

Over on the other side

And you took off for the promised land

With the stardust in your eyes

The love I thought I gave to you

Was somehow left behind

Goodbye, lost you to LA

So long, so long, I hope you find your way

(Lost you to LA) I gave you all my love

I gave it away, and lost you to LA

Everyone is heading west

With a dream inside their mind

And they say you can buy your freedom

With the meaning that you find

But there's no freedom to be found

Unless you look inside your mind

And whеn you find you're dreaming

Therе's no place left to hide

So take your dreams and fly to old LA

So long, I hope you have some good one

(Lost you to LA) I gave you all my love

I gave it away, and lost you to LA

Somehow, these restless nights just keep on coming on

Somehow, this feeling just won't let me be

Sometimes the pain of love makes me weary

But I'll be strong another day, I'll hold on another day

So journey up to the wings of a dream, sail outside my mind

This restless feeling's getting stronger all the time

Meet me up on a starry side of the California sun

I'll be calling out for you 'cause, baby, you're the only one

Goodbye, lost you to LA

So long, so long, I hope you find your way

(Lost you to LA) I gave you all my love

I gave it away, and lost you to LA

Take your dreams and fly to old LA

So long, so long, I hope you find your way

(Lost you to LA) I gave you all my love

I gave it away, and lost you to LA

I lost you, baby
