High on North Doheny Lookin' down over Sunset Way L.A. glow, oh-so pretty My imagination ran away Santa Ana winds have cleared her face again Streetlight eyes sparkle brightly Forming avenues of reds and blues Her angel face delights me I used to wonder where the stars go Well, now I know, so I'll tell ya If you'd spend some time 'round Hollywood and Vine There at your feet In Hollywood glory The names in the street tell the story And the stars fell on California In a multitude of color In a place we now call home Because you know the stars fell on California Oh, but I think I'd better warn ya They take to the air Oh, when the darkness comes One by one I watched them come With flair and sophistication One by one they have set the stage For a truly rare occasion As the curtain closes Dawn exposes a Cinderella morn'n Only the best are left there to rest Beneath your feet and the city I used to wonder where the stars go Well, now I know, so I'll tell you If you'd spend some time 'round Hollywood and Vine There at your feet In Hollywood glory Names in the street tell the story And the stars fell on California In a multitude of color In a place we now call home Because I say the stars fell on California Oh, but I think I'd better warn ya They take to the air Oh, when the darkness comes And the stars fell on California Oh, and the stars fell on California In a multitude of color In a place we now call home Because I say the stars fell on California Oh, but I think I'd better warn ya They take to the air And now I say the stars fell on California In a multitude of color In a place we now call home Because you know the stars fell on California
