Intro Meet her in Mi- ami, conversation turned to wine We talked and we talked, yeah, we hit it off, just fine Stayed down by the water, slept beneath the stars We laughed and we danced, made love in the sand, I held her in my arms But I couldn't make her stay, Cali- fornia called her a- way And to- night the moon turned as blue as the sea and she left Mi- ami and me Now she's in San Fran- sico, maybe Monterey I started to call, but I put it off, hey, what can I say I'm up in New York City, but my heart's down in the Keys It just ain't fair, I should be there holdin' her on that beach But I couldn't make her stay, Cali- fornia called her a- way And to- night the moon turned as blue as the sea, 'cause she left Mi- ami and me They say a woman's heart is an ocean of se- crets And that may be why I'll never know the reason That I couldn't make her stay, Cali- fornia called her a- way That's the night the moon turned as blue as the sea and she left Mi- ami and me Yeah, that's the night the moon turned as blue as the sea and she left Mi- ami and me She left Mi- ami and me, she left Mi- ami and me
