When It Rains In Southern California
BY Chy
When it rains in Southern California
You become all warmth and care—
Affection in every touch,
Your presence is soft and quiet.
When it rains in Southern California
I feel your soul slowly pour onto mine
As you speak of your youth
With a smile full of nostalgia
When it rains in Southern California
Your tears fall freely.
You rest in my lap
As your temperature rises with the rainfall.
When it rains in Southern California
I dream of a quiet home
With warm lamps in every corner
As their soft light reminds me of you.
When it rains in Southern California
We dance at our wedding
As the night comes to a close
And we are the only ones left.
When it rains in Southern California
You sing sweet soulful tunes
Your voice changes in every high note
Full of pain and love.
When it rains in Southern California
I see a young girl
She has your eyes and soft wonder.
And I love her.
When it rains in Southern California
Your eyes widen
And stare wildly
And pierce right into my heart.
When it rains in Southern California
You keep me warm
As the wind blows
And your arms give me shelter.
When it rains in Southern California
The world slows down
It all feels surreal
Cause it never rains in Southern California.
When it rains in Southern California
That’s when you show me love
And I hate to be selfish
But I wish it would rain in Southern California til the day I die.
