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
