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 didn't ease the chill, nothing will

This has been the hardest time
Winter has the longest nights

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?

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?
