California Soul

Marvin Gaye · Marvin Gaye & Friends [2001]

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 get 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 time of thinking in your mind

And you can't go wrong

'Cause you're happy 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

California soul



California

California

California
