Joshua Kadison - Picture Postcards From L.A. lyrics

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar

And Rachel, she's the waitress

Who wants to be a star

She swears, she's gonna make it

Make it big, someday

And she'll send me picture postcards from L.A.

When it's time for closing, I play

While Rachel cleans

She listens to my music, I listen to her dreams

She swears she's gonna make it

She's going all the way

And I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A."

Send me postcards from L.A.

Signed with ‘Love, forevermore’

Picture postcards from L.A.

To hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel, if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

When Rachel shares my pillow

Sshe always asks me things

Like: do I really think she's pretty

Do I like the way she sings?

I don't know how to answer

So I always smile and say

I say, "Send me picture postcards from L.A."

Send me postcards from L.A.

Signed with ‘Love, forevermore’

Picture postcards from L.A.

To hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel, if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

Sometimes Rachel stands up in the middle of the bar

And does a scene from the late show

We all clap our hands

As she puts her apron on

And says, "Next week, I'm gonna go"

She'll even buy a ticket

And pack her things to leave

Though we all know the story

We pretend that we believe

But something always comes up

Something always makes her stay

And still no picture postcards from L.A.

Send me postcards from L.A.

Signed with ‘Love, forevermore’

Picture postcards from L.A.

To hang on my refrigerator door

Rachel, if you find me one

I'd love a picture of the California sun

I'm the piano player down at Eddie's bar

And Rachel, she's the waitress

Who wants to be a star
