2. "Lady Lynda"

Time: 3:59

Al Jardine/Ron Altbach

Lady lady lady lady

Won't you come here and lie lady Lynda with me

We can lie in the green canyon meadows

And we'll hear the birds sing in the spring

Don't you know if you;ll stay lady Lynda with me

We can talk about love everafter

When you lie lady Lynda with me

Lynda, won't you say that we can be near

Cannot deny there've been hard times

Darlin', evolution is drawing us near

Look in my eyes whoa

Lynda, won't you say that I am your man

Don't look surprised, it's all in his plan

But darlin', evolution is drawing us near

Lie lady lie

Oooh lady won't you lie lady

Now won't you stay lady Lynda with me

We can talk about love everafter

When you lie lady Lynda with me

Ohh lady won't you lie lady

Won't you ooh lady won't you stay lady with me

When you lie lady Lynda

Come along with me

Ohh lady won't you lie lady

Won't you lie with me

Darlin' you know you make my heart sing

Won't you come along and sing a song

Sing the sound of love

Ohh lady won't you lie lady

Won't you lie with me

Darlin your love is like the coming spring

Won't you come along and sing a song

Sing the song my love

Ohh lady won't you lie lady

Won't you lie with me Darlin your love is like the coming spring

Won't you come along and sing a song

Sing the song my love

Ohh lady won't you lie lady

Won't you lie with me

Darlin your love is like the coming spring

Won't you come along and sing a song

Sing the song my love

Ooh lady won't you lie lady won't you marry me

3. "Full Sail"

Time: 2:57

Carl Wilson/G. Cushing-Murray

Full sail full sail

Steady as you go

The wind will blow

Set sail at Frisco Bay

In a fog cold and gray

Clear sailing, day after day

Full sail full sail

Now the air is still

We lay adrift

Come upon a sea of trouble

Till the winds of change shift

My course is set

There's no turning back

But there's no goin' anywhere yet

Full sail full sail

Waiting for the wind to blow

The wind will blow

Does the silence of the sea

Sound warning of a storm ahead

Whispers of the breeze

Stir and disappear

To soft to hear

What's in store for me

Adventure on the high seas

Put the childhood dream to the test

Find the measure of the man

Follow the sun heading west

Full sail

Steady as you go

Steady as you go

Full sail

Waiting for the wind to blow

The wind will blow

Hey full sail

Mmmm mmmmm

Hey full sail

4. "Angel Come Home"

Time: 3:40

Carl Wilson/G. Cushing-Murray

Oo ooo ooo ooo ooo

Now the puzzle's laid out on my table

The pieces don't fit

I move from chair to chair

But that empty one's there where she used to sit

I'm sitting here going out of my mind

'Cause she's gone away

She couldn't wait, now I

I'm afraid it's too late

I'm waitin' till my angel comes home

It's been hell bein' here alone

I'll be in heaven when my angel comes home

Angel, angel come home

If you see her tell my angel come home

Oo oo oo angel come home

If you see her tell my angel to come home

Does she remember

That I can't forget

Does she know I regret

I never told her how I

I wanted to hold her

I just let her go

Lonely nights thinkin'

It's starting to sink in

We had a way to go

We'll grow closer together

By being apart

When my angel comes home

It's been hell bein' here alone

God tell me, why has she flown

So far away

I pray she won't stay another day

I'll be in heaven when my angel comes home

Please come home

Angel, come home

If you see her tell my angel come home

Hoo ooo angel, come home

If you see her tell my angel to come home

Hey hey angel, come home

If you see her tell my angel to come home

Ho oo angel come home

If you see her tell my angel to come home

Hey angel come home

If you see her tell my angel to come home

If you see that girl my angel come home

Hey hey angel come home

5. "Love Surrounds Me"

Time: 3:43

Dennis Wilson/G. Cushing-Murray

On my own again, left alone

To remember when

Her love filled my life

Made my life alive her love

Love around me

How can I cope without the love

That I had

(all around me, love surrounds me)

Surround me

The love that I lost was more than

I could hope to find

(love surround me, all around me)

Around me

Did I have love or did love have me

Oo love around me

But there's no

There's no love of my own

Mmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmm

Mm

I gave up our love

But it won't disappear

Oo love around me

Desire

Seems as though

Everywhere I go

Oo love around me

Put your arms around me

Huggin' and a-kissin'

Making the love I've been missin'

All around me

But there's no

There's no love of my own

Love around me love surround me

No love of my own

Love around me love surround me

No love of my own

Love surround me love around me

No love of my own

Love surround me love around me

Put your love around me

6. "Sumahama"

Time: 4:32

Mike Love

Note: Japanese lyrics and English translation in brackets supplied by Tetsuya

Sumahama

There's a lover's leap in old Japan

Where the lovers walk along the sand

Hand in hand at Sumahama

Sumahama

Born a lovely oriental daughter

Never ever having met her father

Asks some questions of her mother

Tell me tell me mama

Will you ever go again to Sumahama

Perhaps you'll find love there

Somewhere between the Earth the sky and water

There at Sumahama

Sumahama

In the autumn as the leaves are falling

One can almost hear the lovers calling

From the sea at Sumahama

Sumahama

Years have past and tears have long since dried

But no amount of time could hope to hide

A love so strong from Sumahama

Tell me tell me mama

Will you go with me back to Sumahama

Perhaps you'll find him there

Somewhere between the Earth the sky and water

There at Sumahama

Sumahama

Soko wa koi suru hitotachi ga      (It's where the lovers)

Te ni te o totte aruita            (Walked hand in hand)

Kireino shiroi hama                (Beautiful white beach)

Itsu itsu, mama, Sumahama ni       (When, when, mama,)

Itsu mata iku no                   (When will you ever go)

                                   (again to Sumahama)

Sugita ai o sagashi ni iku         (Go searching for the)

                                   (Passed love)

Umi no kanata, Sumahama            (A long way off sea,)

                                   (Sumahama)

Sumahama

There's a lover's leap in old Japan

Where the lovers walk along the sand

Hand and hand at Sumahama

Sumahama

Sumahama, aki ni ki no haga chiru yo ni   (Sumahama, like in

                                          (autumn leaves are falling)

Sabishiku kanashii koi no uta             (Lonely sad love song)

Sumahama no umi kara                      (From the sea at

                                          (Sumahama)

Feel like a natural man

My mind was mess

Until you brought happiness

And that's not hard to understand

Just fussin' and cussin'

I'll be there just as quick as I can

Here comes the night

Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me

In the middle of your caress

When the day goes down

Honey I'll be around

Why don't you wear your pretty red dress

Here comes the night

Every mornin' our love is reborn

And it lives with me all day long

Things start changin'

Take as a little rearrangin'

But our love grows on and on

Stars who shine in love

Are making you mine to love

I've never felt a love so strong

(do do etc.)

8. "Baby Blue"

Time: 3:26

Dennis Wilson/Gregg Jakobsen/Karen Lamm

Lie alone in bed at night

Feel the pull of a lonely day

Abstract music start to play

I wonder where you were today

(Baby blue)

Baby baby blue

Baby blue eyes I dream of you

Late at night

When the whole world's sleeping

I dream of you

Close to you I feel your sweet heart beating

I dream of you

Late at night late at night

Honey late at night I dream of you

I dream of you

Baby baby blue

Baby blue eyes I love you new

I hold you in my dreams tonight

Hold you 'til morning light

(Baby)

Baby baby blue

(Baby blue)

Baby blue eyes I dream of you

(Baby)

Baby baby blue

(Baby blue)

Baby blue eye I dream of you

(Baby)

Baby baby blue

9. "Goin' South"

Time: 3:19

Carl Wilson/G. Cushing-Murray

I think of goin' south for the winter

It's getting mighty cold

I watch the fire glow

The moon shining 'cross the snow

Maybe Florida or Mexico

Is where I oughta go

Somewhere where everything is green

Oo the change of scene

Might do a me good

When the swallows go

When they leave Capistrano

Fly away so gracefully

Maybe that's for me

Snowdrifts blowing up against my door

Going clear up to the roof

I could be lying on some sun-washed shore

Truth is, don't know what I'm waiting for

Think I'm goin' south for the winter

It's getting mighty cold

I watch the fire glow

The moon shinin' 'cross the snow

Maybe Florida or Mexico

Is where I oughta go

South of the border

Think I'm goin' south

Get my life in order

Think I'm goin' south

For the winter

It's gettin' mighty cold
