Mindy Gledhill - California

I love traveling! :) I've been to Thailand, Korea, Guam, Hawaii, Italy, France, Mexico and of course America. And I have also traveled to many places in Japan. Even though we have to always face reality in our normal lives, we can escape from the reality during traveling. :)
This song makes me want to go traveling again. :)
Next place I'm going to travel oversea will be Shanghai in the end of this year!

lyrics


Have you been to California
Seen the sights and people there
Walk the streets of sleepy sea towns
Tasted salty ocean air

Once I flew to New York City
Took my picture in Times Square
SoHo nights and Broadway lights
Such a pity you weren't there

Pack your bags and lock your door
I'll take you places you've not been before
All I've ever wished to do is
Travel through this life with you

Make your way to London, England
Paris, France is oh so nice
Ooh la la when people say hello
They kiss your cheeks three times

Pack your bags and lock your door
I'll take you places you've not been before
All I've ever wished to do is
Travel through this life with you

Monte Carlo is waiting
Bombay intoxicating
The sky in Bora Bora is
The color of your eyes oh

Pack your bags and lock your door
I'll take you places you've not been before
All I've ever wished to do is
Travel through this life

Pack your bags and lock your door
I'll take you places you've not been before
All I've ever wished to do is
Travel through this life with you

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
With you
