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

  [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]
