California Town Fernando Ortega

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
