YOUR IMAGINATION
(Brian Wilson/Joe Thomas/S.R. Dahl)
New Executive Music/On The Fox Music, Inc
Another car running fast
Another song on the beach
I take a trip through the past
When summer’s way out of reach
Another walk in the park
When I need something to do
And when I feel all alone
Sometimes I think about you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don’t understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing’s for real
‘Cause you know it’s just
Your imagination running wild
Another bucket of sand
Another wave and the pier
I miss the way that I used
To call the shots around here
You know it would’ve been nice
If I had something to do
I took a trip through the past
And got to spend it with you
You take my hand
Smile and say you don’t understand
To look in your eyes
And see what you feel
And then realize that nothing’s for real
‘Cause you know it’s just
Your imagination running wild
SHE SAYS THAT SHE NEEDS ME
(Brian Wilson/Russ Titelman/Carole Bayer Sager)
New Executive Music/Ruse By The Sea/All About Me Music
She says that she needs me
And I guess I need her too
‘Cause I can’t keep wonderin’
Why I feel the way I do
Baby, if you don’t stop crying
I’ll just want to die
But it’s too late and you know
There’s nothing here for you and I
Chorus:
Sorry baby, I just can’t stand it
It didn’t work out the way planned it
I don’t know whether we’re going to be together
And sorry baby, it’s time we said good-bye
She says that she’s sorry
And I guess I’m sorry too
But baby I’m wonderin’
When I was lonely, where were you
Baby, if you don’t stop crying
I’ll just want to die
But it’s too late and you know
There’s nothing here for you and I
Chorus
She says that she loves me
And I’m not sure that’s really true
Because if she loves me
I wouldn’t feel the way I do
Baby, if you don’t stop crying
I’ll just want to die
But it’s too late and you know
There’s nothing here for you and I
Chorus
SOUTH AMERICAN
(Brian Wilson/Joe Thomas/Jimmy Buffett)
New Executive Music/On The Fox Music/Coral Reefer Music
Got a letter from a long lost cousin of mine
Who owns a little piece of heaven in the Argentine
It’s a different planet, it’s a different place
He calls it out of this world without traveling to space
It’s not just a lesson in geography
No equation to unravel algebraically
It’s written in the wind and on the tropical sea
From south of the equator it keeps callin’ to me
South American well you know I would
South American if I only could
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
You only get to heaven if you chase your dreams
Let the paparazzi flash, let the tabloid scream
I’ve been around too long to care what anyone says
I’m hungry and I’m doing lunch with Cameron Diaz
South American she’s got that tango look
South American she’ll read you like a book
I wanna be, I wanna be going back
It rolls off my tongue like a magical phrase
A simple translation this message conveys
Gimme that, gimme that South American girl
I wanna be, I wanna be where it’s at
South American I’m not on some trip
South American I just long for a ship
A sailing boat or anything that floats
Going back
WHERE HAS LOVE BEEN
(Brian Wilson/Andy Paley/J.D. Souther)
New Executive Music BMI/WB Music Corp/Satellite Six Songs/ASCAP
I’ve been places I can barely talk about
Sunny days that died away in tears
Tumbling like a leaf out on the sea of doubt
I’ve seen nights that seem to last for years
I know that even if I tried
I couldn’t hide my love inside
It’s plain to see
That I’ve been looking everywhere
But somehow no one seemed to care
Chorus:
Where has love been
Where has our love been
All my life
Now and then it seems as though you get it right
Some is never worse than none at all
Making love can always get you through the night
But true love’s there to catch you when you fall
I know that even if I tried
I couldn’t hide my love inside
It’s plain to see
That I’ve been looking everywhere
But somehow no one seemed to care
Chorus
I’m in love and I know it was meant to be
Close your eyes and dream with me again
Dream again
KEEP AN EYE ON SUMMER
(Brian Wilson/Bob Norman)
Screen Gems-EMI Music Inc
We said good-bye last September
Your words I still can hear
Keep an eye on summer this year
Keep an eye on summer
Those things I say in my letters
You’ll find them most sincere
Keep an eye on summer this year
Soon we’ll be graduating
And we’ll be so far apart
And though you could be dating
I’m waiting and waiting
And as we look at the future
Though it be through a tear
Keep an eye on summer this year
DREAM ANGEL
(Brian Wilson/Joe Thomas/Jim Peterik)
New Executive Music/On The Fox. Inc BMI/Jim Petrik Music ASCAP
I’m holding you as you sleep
I get this feeling of peace
I know that you’re going to be all right
‘Cause heaven is in my arms tonight
And I know that someday girl
You’ll be the one to change the world
Believing and seeing your wishes all come true
Chorus:
So dream angel through the night
You can fly forever, never wonderin’ why
Dream angel in my arms
With just one smile you can take my heart away
I’ll do the best that I can
And hope that you’ll understand
But baby, we’re going to be OK
We’ll weather the storm along the way
And someday when I am gone
You’ll have the strength to carry on
Believe me and feel me I’m always by your side
Chorus
CRY
(Brian Wilson)
New Executive Music, BMI
You touch my heart
You touch my soul
When I heard you cryin’
You broke my heart
Broke it in two
How could I have left you alone
A silly quarrel
That’s what we had
Then I heard you cryin’
You broke my heart
Broke it in two
How could I have left you alone
Like that to cry
She seemed so fragile
I really should have cared
And that sent her cryin’
You broke my heart
Broke it in two
How could I have left you alone
Like that to cry
LAY DOWN BURDEN
(Brian Wilson/Joe Thomas)
New Executive Music/On The Fox Music BMI
So many years spent running away
How many times I wished I could stay
Too much emotion a hole in my heart
Feeling alone since we’ve been apart
And if I had the chance
I’d never let you go
Just want you to know
Chorus:
Lay down lay me down
Lay me down
Lay down burden
How many things I wanted to do
How many times spent thinking this through
So many nights spent here by the phone
Wonderin’ if you felt just as alone
And while some things have all been
Crazy from the start
It’s tearing me apart
Chorus
Just remember the way I held you
You’re always in my heart
Chorus
LET HIM RUN WILD
(Brian Wilson/Michael Love)
Irving Music. Inc BMI
When I watch you walk with him
Tears fill my eyes
And when I heard you talk with him
I couldn’t stand his lies
And now before he tries it
I hope you realize it
Chorus:
Let him run wild he don’t care
Let him run wild he’ll find out
Let him run wild he don’t care
I guess you know I waited for you girl
He’ll do the same with other girls
As he did to you
Then one day he’ll run into one
That’s going to hurt him too
Before he makes you over
I’m going to take you over
Chorus
All the dreams you shared with him
You might as well forget
Because I know a truer love
and that’s what you’ll get
And now that you don’t need him
Well he can have his freedom girl
Chorus
SUNSHINE
(Brian Wilson/Joe Thomas)
New Executive Music/On The Fox Music
You shouldn’t be afraid to call
I really wouldn’t mind at all
Here’s my number, number one
Dial it honey, let’s have some fun
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Chorus:
Sunshine
Can’t get enough sunshine
I’m following the sunshine
Beating down on me
I never even mind the rain
But life’s really driving me insane
Here’s my story, sad but true
Things are better when skies are blue
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Chorus
Baby don’t be afraid to call
Baby don’t be afraid at all
HAPPY DAYS
(Brian Wilson)
New Executive Music BMI
Dark days were plenty
Never ending sorrow
Only the past with
Uncertain tomorrow
Oh God the pain
That I’ve been going through
Raining in my heart
To my emotional rescue
I used to be
So far from life
No one could help me
Not even my wife
Oh God the pain
That I’ve been going through
Raining in my heart
To my emotional rescue
Happy days are here again
The sky is blue and clear again
Everybody I talk to
Says, man, you’re looking cool
Nature oh nature is slow to heal
Nature oh nature please let me feel
When he was….
Oh my gosh happy days are here again
I can see the twinkle in the people’s eyes
Goodbye blues, happy days are here again
Spread it good
