Lyrics
I've seen the tallest trees in the Redwood Forest
I've walked along the shores of the Frisco Bay
But I don't believe I've ever seen the beauty of your reflection in half moon bay
I've seen the vines-a-growin in the central valley
I've stopped to taste the wine along the way
But I don't believe I've ever seen the beauty of your reflection in Half Moon Bay
I'll never forget the summer that we spent there
Moonlight walks along the bay
And an ocean breeze and a memory that never meant to stay
That's why memories can only fade away
If you've ever been to California
Take the time to ride the King's Highway
Cause I don't believe I've ever seen the beauty of your reflection in Half Moon Bay
