California Soul

California Soul

Artist:Marlena Shaw

Songwriters: Ashford, Nickolas / Simpson, Valerie

Like a sound you hear

That lingers in your ear

But you can't forget

From sundawn to sunset

It's all in the air

You hear it everywhere

No matter what you do

It's gonna get a grab hold on you

California soul

California soul

They say the sun comes up every morning

And if you listen oh so carefully

The winds that ride

On the high tide

Whistles a melody

So the people started into sing

And that's how the surf gave birth untold

To California soul

California soul

When you hear the beat

You wanna pat your feet

And you've gotta move

Cause it's really such a groove

Puts a brand new kind

Of thinking in your mind

And you can't go wrong

Cause you're happy all day long

California soul

California soul

You had the melody and the beat

But it still didn't seem complete

Until they saw two lovers kissing

They knew just what was missing

So happy they were

Rocking and reeling

Because they had added that loving feeling

To California soul

California soul
