And baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone, who will save me
From all I’m up against out in this world?
And maybe, maybe, maybe
You’ll find somethin’ that’s enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don’t receive you
You should turn yourself around and come on home
Several times i’ve wished
That everything would slip into a void
(turn it around) does it even matter now?
It’s time to figure out
The things we want, and things that we’ll avoid
(turn it around) we gotta get back
Turn it around
Someday, when I’m lonely
Wishing you weren’t so far away
Then I will remember
Things we said today
So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
Doesn’t help to know you’re just time away
Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
How I wish I could, but you’re so far away
Long ago, and oh, so far away
I fell in love with you before the second show
Your guitar, it sounds so sweet and clear
But you’re not really here, it’s just the radio
Don’t you remember, you told me you loved me baby?
You said you’d be coming back this way again, baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh baby
I love you, I really do
Can’t let you know
What’s been happening.
There’s a ghost in our home,
Just watching you without me.
I’m not here.
But I’m not here.
But I’m not here.
You walk out of the room with your hands so deep in your pockets
I don’t recognize you
You say you’re a ghost in our house and I realize
I do think I see through you
'Cause I don’t recognize ya
'Cause your heart’s turned cold when you left this home
No I don’t recognize ya
You were mine to hold but you let me go
No I don’t don’t don’t no I don’t recognize ya no more
No I don’t don’t don’t no I don’t recognize ya no more
But you’re not the one that I used to know
We met when she was younger
Then, I had no eyes for her
A few years went by and I saw her
Now I’m gonna try for her
(Look out, babe)
She’s not the little girl I once knew
The Little Girl I Once Knew – The Beach Boys
-“BB”-
Dark as the night comes to share
With stars in her hair
And grand majestic flair
Framed, a world passes by
With the sound of a young girl’s sigh
Man carrying a brow
Smoke rises from the crowd
Here for now
The Church, “Transient”
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes “aah”
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
The only one I know, never cries, never opens her eyes
The only one I know, wide awake and then she’s away
The only one I see, is mine when she walks down the street
The only one I see, has carved her way into me
I’ve got you under my skin
I have got you, deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you under my skin
Under my thumb
The girl who once had me down
Around
Around
Around
Around
Over, Under, and Through
Near!
Far!
Near!
Far!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking 'til I’ve spent my wage
When I was young, people spoke of immorality
All the things they said were wrong are what I wanna be
Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
(Hey!) Over, under, sideways, down
(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square, and round
When I was young, I used to wait
Upon my master and give him his plate
And pass him the bottle when he got dry
And brush away the blue tail fly
The Blue tail Fly. Burl Ives
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
Blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
Why don’t you shine your these and those-ies?
You’ll find everything gonna turn out right fine
Folks will shine up to ya’
Everybody’s gonna howdy doody do-ya’
You’ll make the whole world shine
