Lady Lynda

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

Full Sail

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 troubles
'Til the winds of change shift
My course is set
There's no turning back
But there's no going anywhere yet

Full sail (full sail), full sail (full sail)
Waitin' 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
Too 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 (full sail, full sail)
Steady as you go
Steady as you go
Full sail (full sail, full sail)
Waitin' for the wind to blow
The wind will blow
Hey, full sail (full sail, full sail)
Mm, mm
Hey, full sail (full sail), full sail (full sail)

Angel Come Home

Ooh

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' 'til my angel comes home
It's been hell bein' here alone
I'll be in heaven when my angel comes home

Angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel, come home (angel, come home)
Ooh, angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel to come home (angel, 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 startin' 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 (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel, come home (angel, come home)
Ooh, angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel to come home (angel, come home)
Yeah, yeah, angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel, come home (angel, come home)
Oh, oh, angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel to come home (angel, come home)
Yeah, angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see her, tell my angel, come home (angel, come home)
If you see that girl, my angel, come home (angel, come home)
Yeah, yeah, angel, come home (angel, come home)

Love Surrounds Me

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)
The love that I lost was more than
I hope to find
(Love's around me, all around me)
Did I have love, or did love have me?
Ooh, love around me
But there's no
There's no love of my own

Mm
Mm
La-la-la
La-la-la, ooh

I gave up our love
But it won't disappear
Ooh, love around me
Desire
Seems as though
Everywhere I go
Ooh, 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's around me
No love of my own
Love around me
Love's around me
No love of my own
Love's around me
Love around me
Love's around me (no love of my own)
Love around me
Love around me
No love of my own

Sumahama

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
Te ni te o totte aruita
Kireino shiroi hama

Itsu itsu, mama, Sumahama ni
Itsu mata iku no
Sugita ai o sagashi ni iku
Umi no kanata, Sumahama

Sumahama
There's a lover's leap in old Japan
Where the lovers walk along the sand
Hand-in-hand at Sumahama
Sumahama
Aki ni ki no haga chiru yo ni
Sabishiku kanashii koi no uta
Sumahama no umi kara

Here Comes The Night

My heart was breakin'
Till you started making me
Feel like a natural man
My mind was mess
Until you brought happiness
And that's not hard to understand
When I'm through workin'
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
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

I know livin' is takin' and givin'
Baby I'm givin' you my best
One of these days you know
I'm gonna go crazy
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
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

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

Here comes the night
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me squeeze me don't ever leave me
Tell me I'm doin' alright
Hold me love me ooooo

Baby Blue

Lie alone in bed at night
Feel the pull of a lonely day
Thoughts like 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'm lovin' you
I hold you in my dreams tonight
Hold you 'til morning light

(Baby)
Baby, baby blue
(Baby blue)
Baby blue eyes, I'm lovin' you
(Baby)
Baby, baby blue
(Baby blue)
Baby blue eyes, I'm lovin' you
(Baby)
Baby, baby blue

Goin South

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
Ooh, a change of scene
Might do 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 waitin' 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

Shortenin Bread

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

Put on the skillet
Slip on the lid
Mammy's gonna make us some shortenin' bread
And that ain't all
Our mammy's gonna do
She's gonna cook us some coffee, too

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

I slipped in the kitchen
Raised up the lid
I stole me a mess o' that shortenin' bread
I walked up to a pretty girl and I said
Baby how'd you like some shortenin' bread

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

They caught me with the skillet
They caught me with the lid
They caught me with the girl eatin' shortenin' bread
Six months for the skillet
Six months for the lid
Now I'm doin' time for eatin' shortenin' bread

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

Shortenin'
Shortenin' bread
Shortenin'
Shortenin' bread

Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' shortenin'
Mama's little baby loves shortenin' bread

L.A. (Light Album) is the 23rd studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on March 16, 1979, and their first issued through CBS Records. Recorded during a period of acrimony between the band members, it was a critical and commercial failure, peaking at number 100 in the U.S. and number 32 in the UK.

The album largely consists of solo recordings by the individual band members, including two from Dennis Wilson ("Love Surrounds Me" and "Baby Blue") that were lifted from his unreleased second solo album, Bambu. Brian Wilson was not present for much of the L.A. sessions. The production was credited to returning Beach Boy Bruce Johnston, the band itself, and their manager James William Guercio.

L.A. produced three singles: an 11-minute disco rerecording of "Here Comes the Night" from their 1967 album Wild Honey, the Brian and Carl Wilson collaboration "Good Timin'", and Al Jardine's "Lady Lynda". "Here Comes the Night" and "Good Timin'" charted at numbers 44 and 40, respectively, while "Lady Lynda" was a top 10 hit in several territories abroad, including the UK.
