Last night I had a dream that I'd done things differently
And I'd let you go back to Chicago
Where the lake is clear and wide you can't see the other side
And the folks are real, they'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, You're no good for me

Well there's no use in regret
Some things I'd just soon forget
Jesus loves me this I know
Cuz' my momma told me so
And the sun don't always shine in this crazy life of mine
You can't wash away the pain
Yeah, when it never rains
I don't need to be no star down on Sunset Boulevard
Livin an empty dream
Where things ain't what they seem
City of angels, you'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 I'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
