I'm Going Out (The Same Way I Came In)

"California Nights" is a song written by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Liebling and recorded by Lesley Gore. The song appeared on her 1967 album, California Nights.

Along the sand, 
Let's walk the shore together, now, just hand in hand. 
It's gonna be fair weather, now, 
When the stars come out, stop to count them in the sky. 
 
Love California nights, 
When I'm walkin' with you hand in hand by the shore, 
Yes, I love California nights, 
At the beach where we'd swim with the tide rolling in. 
 
And there will be beneath the midnight sky above 
Just you and me, and we will whisper words of love 
While the fire light softly flickers in the sand. 
 
Warm California nights, 
With the breeze blowin' in - time for love to begin. 
I would miss California nights if I went on my way, 
Thinkin' now that I'll stay. 
 
Ooh, baby, 
Love you, baby, 
Mm, baby. 
 
Love California nights, 
Always close as a kiss, nothing's sweeter than this, 
And we'll spend California nights, 
Always close as a kiss...
