Milsap, Ronnie - Santa Barbara Lyrics






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

Milsap, Ronnie Santa Barbara Comments
  1. B.... G....

    This is one of my all-time favorite songs, and has been since it was first released, in 1978. It didn't get near as much airplay in Chicago at it ought to have, as WMAQ and WJJD were still warring for the Top Country station in the market spot, and usually only played the Top 40 crap, almost having to BEG the d.j.'s to play it!!! Thanks for posting it and reminding everyone what a great song it truly is, and remains so, to this day!!!!!

    B.... G....

    Your welcome Bill and thanks for your comment and viewing my channel.

  2. C.... S....

    I can't believe they don't play this song like it was a number one song. Beautiful. The 70's had the best music!

    C.... S....

    Yes radio don't play good songs like that now days. I try to feature songs like that so it can still be heard and others that would not get played at all. the 70's had great music. Thanks for viewing my channel.

  3. C.... ....

    This is my favorite Ronnie Milsap song! I wonder if the gains on the recording were a little lower in studio because every internet post of this seems to require me to crank up max gain.

    C.... ....

    I think your right, the gains seem to be lower.

  4. s.... ....

    Remembering when this was played over and over on the radio back in 1978....I was 15...wow...

    this album had 3 top 3 hits, & songs that could have been singles at that time!!!

    D.... B....

    That is so true, great album.

  11. C.... F....

    Great country song indeed! I think Hal David of Burt Bacharach fame wrote the lyrics to this song! I might be wrong but they also wrote "It Was Almost Like A Song" too!!

    C.... F....

    Craig , I think so too. the record only listed last names

    C.... F....

    OK!! :D

  12. N.... B....
