	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

	I would miss California nights
	If I went on my way
	Thinkin' now that I'll stay

	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]
