Last night I had a dream that Iâ¬"d done things differently
And Iâ¬"d let you go back to Chicago
Where the lake is clear and wide you canâ¬"t see the other side
And the folks are real, theyâ¬"ll tell you how they feel
So I stayed on the fairer coast until I became a ghost
Oh fantasy, let this poor girl be
City of angels, Youâ¬"re no good for me

Well thereâ¬"s no use in regret
Some things Iâ¬"d just soon forget
Jesus loves me this I know
Cuzâ¬" my momma told me so
And the sun donâ¬"t always shine in this crazy life of mine
You canâ¬"t wash away the pain
Yeah, when it never rains
I donâ¬"t need to be no star down on Sunset Boulevard
Livin an empty dream
Where things ainâ¬"t what they seem
City of angels, youâ¬"re no good for me

City of angels, city of angels
You got me wrapped around your little finger
Into the fire, sweet city of angels

Last night I had a dream that Iâ¬"d done things differently
And I let you go, yeah I had to let you go

City of angels, city of angels
You got me wrapped around your little finger
Into the fire, sweet city of angels
