I wonder why nothin' ever seems to go my way
But every time I see you
I get that same old feelin'
And my blues just melt away, melt away
The world's not waiting just for me
The world don't care what I can be
I feel just like an island
Until I see you smilin'
And my blues just melt away, melt away
I won't let you see me suffer
Whoa not me
I won't let you hear me cryin'
Whoa not me
I won't let you see me sighin'
Whoa not me
Whoa oh oh
Sometimes I close up to the world
You know I close up to you girl
But when I hear you talking
I feel my heart unlocking
And my blues just melt away, melt away
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
(Dit) dit dit dit

It's not too late to have another date
Baby let your hair grow long

Just the way you used to be
Don't want girls who don't care about nothin'
And throw their lives away
There's somethin' missin' with you darlin' now
Baby let your hair grow long
(Baby let your hair grow long)
It hurts inside to see you suffer now
Baby let your hair grow long
(Baby let your hair grow long)
There's no way I can help you
You gotta do it all by yourself now
Don't want girls who don't care about nothin'
And throw their lives away
Throw them away
There's gotta be somthin' you're livin' for
You've got to try a little more
I've been waitin' to see that change in you
You can do it just the way you used to do

5. "Little Children"
Time: 1:48 Beach Bum Music BMI
Producer: Brian Wilson/Russ Titelman
Mixed by Hugh Padgham assisted by Bob Vogt at A & M Recording Studios
Brian Wilson
On a Monday mornin' you see 'em all there
Little children they're marching along
On a sunny mountain without any cares
Little children they're marching along
Marching along, siging a song
Making rhythm and rhyme
It used to be somthing to see
They don't keep track of the time
If the rain comes down
They put on their coats
Little children they're marching along
If it gets too floody
They get in their boats
Little children they're marching along
Marching along, siging a song
Making rhythm and rhyme
It used to be somthing to see
They don't keep track of the time
Poor little Wendy she's too scared to speak
Little children they're marching along
And look at little Carnie with dirt on her cheek
Little children they're marching along
It's three fifteen it's time to go home
Little children they're marching along
You can't kiss no one until you get home
Little children they're marching along
Marching along
Marching along
Marching along
Marching along
Marching along
Marching along
Marching along

There's so many dreams to dream of
Why not dream about my true love
And even though I can't be with her
I still have my fantasy
Fantasy world
There's so many risks to take
And if I lose my heart will break
I think I might take a chance on love again
Oh on love again
Love again
I wonder
Why has it taken so long
I wonder
If you know where you belong
Your face up in the sky
Where angels fly
In heaven's eye
Where planets are spinning around
There's so many songs to sing
I'm thankful for the love they bring
Don't let old scars keep us apart
We're gonna mend our broken hearts
Starting tonight
I wonder
If you know where you belong
I wonder
Why has it taken so long
To get you in my arms
To feel my love that is so strong
Where planets are spinning around
Planets are spinning around

Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
'Cause the sun shines a little too bright
My eyes can't take that light
Will you be waitin' there
In the cool of the twilight air
That's where we'll be because
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Downtown where the sun beats strong
Eight hours is a little too long
When I see that sun goin' down
I drive to the edge of town
Wait for awhile because
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time is delight time
It's starlight time
And it's the right time for me
Night time
Light time
Right time
Right time
So there it goes
Sun's sinkin' down
It's gettin' dark
Colors are fading fast
Night covers the sun
And leaves no mark
The neighborhood
Everyone has gone back inside
It's understood
Won't you sit down right by my side
Night time
Light time
Light time
Right time for me
Night time (night time) is delight time (light time)
It's starlight time (light time)
And it's the right time for me (right time for me)
Night time (night time) is delight time (light time)
It's starlight time (light time)
And it's the right time for me (right time for me)

Let it shine oh let it shine

Shadows fall
The ocean calls to me
The night is still
She's where I wanna be
The stars all send
Their silver light to me
Forever shine
On me eternally
I couldn't think of anything
That gives me more than what you bring
The color of an endless dream
Let it shine
Let it shine
Whoaah-oh
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
Whoaah-oh
Let it shine
A flame that grows
And burns so deep in me
Somebody cries
For all the world to see
Another time
There will be ectasy
Another place
You will be next to me
Of all the lives that I've been through
I never really thought it was true
That all I ever needed was you
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
Whoaah-oh
Let it shine
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
