California Town

Good evening

Lovely evening

A perfect evening

For a stroll on the town

Couples on the boardwalk

And down on the sandbar

Holding hands, staring out

To the moon on the ocean

Silver and soft

Water in motion

Car lights

Pacific Highway

We look both ways

My baby and me

We find a fancy restaurant

A table outside

In a quiet corner, please

Wind in the palm trees

Candles and wine

Her clear blue eyes

We stay till closing

Come on, my love

We can walk home

Past the dancers

And the bands winding down

Remind me again

What's the question?

We belong here

In this California town

Slow fade of summer

Stars in the sky

Songs in the night

The boom of the breakers

The pull of the tide

The swell and the sigh

Salt in the sea spray
