I was walking down the beach
At San Onofre
It was such a beautiful day
The wind was blowin' through my hair
Sunlight chased my cares away
And the sun dances in the morning sky

When you're driving down the coast
Watch the cliffs below
On beautiful Laguna's Three Arch Bay
The wind was blowin' through my hair
The sunlight chased my cares away
And the sun dances in the morning sky

California feelin'
California feelin'
California feelin'
California feelin'

When you're lost in New York City
And the sky turns grey
Nearly frozen, think of Californ-i-a

You're a river running through me
You hold me through the storm
A shield that's protective
Someone to keep me warm

You're a rhapsody in sunlight
You take my breath away
You aspire me in that California way

California feelin' (California)
California feelin' (California)
California feelin'
California feelin'

Yeah, it could change you
It could touch you in your very soul
Feel the loveliness and beauty
Of that California feelin'
