California Christmas

© 2015 Mark Cote

Far from the snow
I used to know
to ocean sprays
and sunny days
man, I wouldn't trade
a California Christmas

that icy cold
and frozen roads
to open drives
and sunset tides
man, I wouldn't trade
a California Christmas

(chorus) so light the tree
                  does it matter where
                  long as you and I
                  we both are there
                  location is something we dismiss
                  Oh how I love
                  California Christmas

it's much better fun
in the sun
not shoveling snow
in 20 below
man, I wouldn't trade
a California Christmas

(chorus)
(instrumental)

sand castle snowman
on the beach
once a dream
I could not reach
man, I wouldn't trade
a California Christmas

(chorus)
