The summer days are gone   Along with you they disappeared   And left me here   Just like the falling leaves   I watched you turn and drift away   Nothing stays   Don't want to face the fall alone   But it's your nature to move on.      Is it cold in california   Like I told you it would be   Do you need someone to warm you   Like I warmed you   Is it cold in california   Like it is in tennessee.      Spent the holidays with a man   Made out of snow ho ho ho   Kept on building fires   But they don't ease the chill   Nothing will   This has been the hardest time   Winter has the longest nights.      (repeat chorus)      I'll count the days until the spring   And hope it brings you back to me.      Is it cold in california   Like I told you it would be   Do you need someone to warm you   Be there for you   Is it cold in california   Like it is in tennessee.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
