Lyrics

Chest to chest,

nose to nose,

palm to palm; we were al ways just that close.

Wrist to wrist,

toe to toe;

lips that felt just like the in side of a rose.

So, how come when I reach out my fin gers,

it feels like more than dis tance be tween us?

In this Cal i for nia king bed, we’re ten thou sand miles a part.

I’ve been Cal i for nia wish ing on these stars for your heart for me.

My Cal i for nia King.
