I saw you up in a sweet sunshine
Before it was followed by rain
You were a heartache's silver lining
Within a moment our arms were twining

But so long to the sweet love
So long to my sweet dove
In the california rain
So long to the sweet life
So long to the good love
There was no way it could stay
Had to go your own way

Oh you're some angel girl
That I can't get enough of
You're some angel girl
And I just wanna sleep
Maybe you'll be in dreams

Strolling along in the brief sunshine
Pulling the world by a string
We couldn't hold up the clouds from crowding
Within a moment the shadows shouted

So long to the sweet life
So long to the good love
In the california rain
Petaluma just ain't the same

Oh you're some angel girl
That I can't get enough of
You're some angel girl
And I just wanna sleep
I hope I see you in dreams
