Crowded streets, speeding cars
Buildings that are so tall that they hide the stars
Just for now we must stay
But I'll take you back where you belong someday

What Santa Barbara is to you
The golden sand, the silver sea
What Santa Barbara is to you
You are to me, you are to me

I took you far from home
While I'm out there working you're left all alone
Bear with me for a while
I'll put that California sun back in your smile

What Santa Barbara is to you
The golden sand, the silver sea
What Santa Barbara is to you
You are to me, you are to me

What Santa Barbara is to you
The golden sand, the silver sea
What Santa Barbara is to you
You are to me, you are to me

What Santa Barbara is to you
The golden sand, the silver sea
What Santa Barbara is to you
You are to me, you are to me
