Wait a second
Why such a hurry to go?
Wait a second
Stay a bit more
My love, don't go to California
My love, don't go to California
Don't think or expect I'm gonna stop you
My love, don't go to California
My love, don't go to California
I can't go with you, either, so I can only ask:
My love, don't go to California
My love, don't go to California
Before the plane takes off, longing will come
And hold down the smile on my face, waiting to see
Waiting to seela restrained tear roll down my eyes
Right at the time we must say goodbye
