Verse 1:

Along the sand
/
Let's walk the shores together, now
/
Yes, hand in hand
/
It's gonna be fair weather now
When the stars come out
[N..] [bass]
Stop (stop!) to count them in the sky
Chorus 1:
Long California nights
When I'm walkin' with you
Hand in hand by the shore
Yes, I love California nights
At the beach where we'd swim
With the tide rollin' in
Verse 2:
And there we'll be
Beneath the midnight sky above
Just you and me
And we will whisper words of love
While the firelight
Soft (soft)-ly flickers in the sand
Chorus 2:
Warm California nights
With the breeze blowin' in
The time for love to begin
I would miss California nights
If I went on my way
Thinkin' now that I'll stay
Bridge:
/ / / / / / / /
Ooh, baby
Love you, baby
Mmm, baby
Chorus 3:
Long California nights
Always close as a kiss
Nothin' sweeter than this
And we'll spend California nights
Always close as a kiss [fade]
