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

Dm7 [N.C.] G [bass] C

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

/ / / / / / / /

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]
