An homage to Northern California by Glenn Diamond of the band The Children of Paradise.

The Children Of Paradise
Words & Music by Glenn Diamond
Copyright © 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP)

Just yesterday I saw an old French film where the people loved, yeah, but all in vain -- ˜cause at story's end everybody was unhappy

It made me think about a girl I know, yeah with big brown eyes and a pretty smile but she won't look my way no matter how I try to tell her

And then I think about the friends I know sittin' home alone with no place to go wonderin' if this shit gonna be this way forever

People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember
Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes
We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December
But long as your heart is yearnin'
For love's wheels turning inside you realize
We're all the children of paradise in the long run

See Monterey where the cypress trees stand up to the wind and the prophet's voice still lives on today and rings out across the water

Or Inverness where the rain beat down and rivers rode and the houses fell and the people learned to reach out to one another

And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crystal air while the sun warms all the valleys

People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember
Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes
We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December
But long as your heart is yearnin'
For love's returning to guide you realize
We're all the children of paradise in the long run
We're all the children of paradise in the long run

We're all the children of paradise when the morning comes and the shadows fade and the light pours down in a gold parade and I look around, see the one I love dreamin' of the day that we reach out to one another

And over Shasta I see William Blake, yes, and Marc Chagall turnin' somersaults in the crystal air while the sun warms all the valleys

People, the time is coming now, we've got to remember
Wasn't so long ago there was love-light in our eyes
We know that Summer's sun turns to cold nights in December
But long as your heart is yearnin'
For love's returning to guide you realize
We're all the children of paradise in the long run
We're all the children of paradise in the long run
We're all the children of paradise in the long run ...
