Ashford/Simpson

Like a sound you hear that lingers in your ear
You can't forget from sunrise to sunset
It's all in the air, you hear it everywhere
No matter what you do, it's gonna get a hold on you
California soul, California soul

They say the sun comes up every mornin'
& if you listen so carefully
The winds that ride on the high tide
Whistle a melody
Some more people startin' to sing
& that's how the surf gave birth to untold
To California soul, oh California soul

When you hear the beat, you wanna tap your feet
& you got to move 'cause it's really such a groove
There's a brand new kind of thinkin' in your mind
& you can't go wrong 'cause you're happy all day long
Oh yeah, California soul, oh California soul

They had the melody & the beat,
But it still don’t seem complete
Until they saw 2 lovers kissin'
& they just knew what they're missin'
So happy they were walkin' & reelin'
'Cause they had it, that lovin' feelin'
To California soul, oh California soul, California soul

It’s like a song you hear that lingers in your ear

Repeat to fade
