Long California nights

When I'm walkin' with you

Hand in hand by the shore

E
At the beach where we'd swim
C

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

Long California nights
Always close as a kiss
Nothin' sweeter than this
And we'll spend California nights
Always close as a kiss [fade]
