California Soul - Marlena Shaw

Like a sound you hear

That lingers in your ear

But you can't forget

From sundown to sunset

It's all in the air

You hear it everywhere

No matter what you do

It's gonna grab a hold on you

California soul

California soul

They say the sun comes up

Every morning

And if you listen carefully

The winds that ride

On the high time

Whistle a melody

And so the people started to sing

And that's how the surf gave

Birth untold

California soul

California soul

When you hear the beat

You wanna pat your feet

And you've got to 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 groovin'

All day long

California soul

California soul

They had the melody and the beat

But it still didn't seem complete

Until they saw two lovers kissin'

They knew just what was missin'

So happy they were rockin'

And reelin'

Because they added that

Lovin' feeling

To California soul

California soul

Like a sound you hear

That lingers in your ear

But you can't forget

From sundown to sunset
