Picture yourself on the sea of a setting sun

The salty air and the taste of your lover's hair

Inside you want to fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Come to the magical mist where the oceans kissed

A thousand kisses or more on the sandy shore

And never says goodbye

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh, La Costa, ooh

Ooh, La Costa, ooh

Come feel the warm of the breeze as the swaying trees

Caress the velvety skies like a whisper telling you to come and fly

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Musical Interlude

Run with the wind at your side let it set you free

I'll watch the sun in your eyes as the seagulls fly

Along this lover's isle

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

You are my love and my life, you're my everything

You calm the sea of my soul oh so tenderly

It makes me very high

Ah, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi, yi

Ooh La Costa, wee, ooh, wee

Ooh La Costa, ooh

Picture yourself on the sea...

Come feel the warm of the breeze..

La Costa......

Natalie Cole

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.
