The 5th Dimension - California Soul Lyrics

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 your
It's 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 in melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth untold
It's California soul California soul

When you hear the beat
You want to pat your feet
And you've got to move cause
It's really such a groove
Puts a brand new thing in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're happy all day long
It's California soul, California soul

They had the melody and the beat
But it still doesn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin'
They knew just what was missin'
So happy they were rockin' and reelin'
Because that added that lovin' feeling
To California soul, California soul
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
