The Beach Boys - That's Why God Made the Radio Album Lyrics

[Instrumental]

Tuning in the latest star
From the dashboard of my car
Cruisin' at 7
Push button heaven
Capturing memories from afar
In my car

That's why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
That's why God made the radio

Feel the music in the air
Find a song to take us there
It's paradise when I lift up my antenna
Receiving your signal like a prayer
Like a prayer

That's why God made the radio
So tune right in, everywhere you go
He waved His hand, gave us rock 'n roll
The soundtrack of falling in love
That's why God made the radio

Making this night a celebration
Spreading the love and sunshine
To a whole new generation
Whole new generation

That's why God made
That's why God made
That's why God made the radio
[4x]

After it's all been said
The music spinning in our head
Can't forget the feeling of
The magic of that summer in love

Oh, I wanna take you there
Do you wanna turn back the pages
Memories and photographs
The world has changed
And yet the game
Is still the same

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?

The good times never have to end
And now's the time to let them happen again
And we can have ourselves a blast
The good times they, aren't only in the past

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?

And as the sun goes down
We raise our glass to kindness
To all the good times we shared

Isn't it time we get ready and then?
Isn't it time we go steady again?

Isn't it time we danced the night away
How about doing it just like yesterday
Every time I think of you
And all of those things we used to do
Remember those nights we spent just you and I
Little did we know how the time would fly
Isn't it time?
Isn't it time?
[2x]

Driving around, living the dream
I'm cruising the town, diggin' the scene
I'm not gonna stress, I'm not gonna worry,
Doing our best, no need to hurry.

Looking ahead, with anticipation,
Making each day a new celebration
Seems like it could go on forever,
Long as we can all stay together

We used to get around,
Get up and hit up all the hot spots in town

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

As for the past, it's all behind us,
Happier now, look where life finds us
Singing our songs, is enough reason,
Harmony boys, it's what we believe in

Some said it wouldn't last,
All we can say is we're still having a blast

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

Every night's a special occasion

Spring vacation, good vibration,
Summer weather, we're back together
Easy money, ain't life funny,
Hey what's it to ya, hallelujah

The private life of Bill and Sue
Can you dig what I'm telling you?
No one knows just why we care
We see their faces everywhere
The strangest story you ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

The private life of Bill and Sue
The world is wondering what they do
We watch them on our TV screen
Their lives are like a movie scene
The strangest story you ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

Sometimes life can be so strange
Maybe we're just looking for a change

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day

"Bill and Sue, stars of the once popular reality show, 'The private life of Bill and Sue', were reported lost at sea today along with their camera crew while filming an episode on vacation in Catalina Island. Skeptics speculate that the once popular duo whose ratings have tumbled since leaving the network actually faked their demise..."

Did you ever listen with the music missin'
Turn your radio on
When the trees are swaying and the band is playing
Our favorite song

Shelter from the sunlight
Shelter from the cold night

Just where I wanna be
Baby just you and me
Staying at home

Summertime, take a few calls, make a little love
Thank God for shelter

I'll give you shelter from the storm
And a house to keep you warm
I'll give you shelter through the night
And a chance to make this right

Do you ever still think of me
And the way that we used to be
When the world was just you and me
Hanging out in our shelter

Now it's two o'clock
Lines around the block
Waiting for the parade
When the dark of night
Or the bright sunlight
Has you runnin' for shade

Together we can run and hide
Maybe we can stay inside

Just where I wanna be
Baby just you and me
Staying at home

Summertime, take a few calls, make a little love
Thank God for shelter

I'll give you shelter from the storm
And a house to keep you warm
I'll give you shelter through the night
And a chance to make this right

Do you ever still think of me
And the way that we used to be
When the world was just you and me
Hanging out in our shelter

Do you think that you'd ever stay
Take a page out of yesterday
If we could only find a way
Hanging out in our shelter

Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back my baby

Daybreak over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
Will the waves' gentle motion
Bring my babe, my baby back to me

And the stardust sprinkles the morning
Venus fades from my side
Will my love be returning
Like the sun to brighten up my life

And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me

Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back
Bring my baby back
Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back my baby

Darlin' if you could only
Hear this song in my heart
Then you know why you need never feel lonely
We'll soon be together, never to depart
And as long as there is an ocean
Long as stars are to shine
Baby you will always have my devotion
I'll love you pretty baby
Till the end of time

And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me

And as day breaks over the ocean
Moonlight still on the sea
I pray the waves' gentle motion
Will bring my baby to me

Darlin' if you should ever
Wonder what you should do
Baby you should know I'll love you forever
Maybe little darlin'
That will see you through

And as the sun sets over the ocean (over the ocean)
And the world fades from view
Baby always know our love and devotion
Will brighten up the night
We will make it through
Because I love you

Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back
Bring my baby back
Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back my baby
Please my baby

Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back
Bring my baby back
Bring back
Won't you bring back
Bring back my baby
Please my baby

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time

Woke me up before dawn
Wish I could sleep some more so I could carry on
With the dream I've been meaning to make come true
And that's to get away with you

I think we all can agree
That there's no better place for us to be
We can drive on for miles till we're finally free
It will just be you and me

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be

Southbay surfing again
Haven't been this way in I don't know when
If I have my say we'll be back again
Where the good times never end

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
With the surfers, sand and the sea

We'll find a place in the sun
Where everyone can have fun

Beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
With the surfers, sand and the sea

We've got beaches in mind
Man it's been too much time
Not a care in the world is where I want to be
Beaches in mind

On Santa Monica city pier
We watch the people who gather here
The uninvited who've lost their way
And now we're all here to stay

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Thinking it over
It's a strange world after all

Multi-colourful lives we run
To catch a glimpse of the setting sun
I can't imagine how life would be
If you were not here with me

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Strange world after all

Sunday morning
Skies so blue
Yo te amo
Means I love you

You can drive your car
To the county fair
Or ride your bicycle anywhere
It doesn't matter that much to me
Cause we're pretty good company

And it's a strange world
There's nothing to it
Strange world
I'm getting through it
Strange world
Thinking it over
It's a strange world after all

Why don't you run away and spend some time with me
On this summer's day, there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Why don't we feel the way we used to anymore
There's a place along the way, that maybe we could stay
And listen to the waves at my front door

You've been thinking 'bout some things we used to do
Thinking 'bout when life was still in front of you
Back where you belong, our favorite song
Won't you listen

Don't you understand the words
Are singing in the wind
I wish that we could get from there to back again

The clouds are breaking, it's a beautiful day
For a wonderful, Pacific coast getaway
The sun is shining, could we just find a way
I you just call, just fall, just fall
To the ground

Through our compromise, paradise
Is just another place up on the wall
Through the common sense of it all
We had a lot to live, we gave it all
Through the consequence of the wine
Another place in time

Rollin' along Pacific Coast Highway -
Bummin' along to my radio.
Saw a blond hitchin' my way;
Rolled up and said "How far do you wanna go?"
She'd been hummin', thumbin', hitchin' and wishin'
For a good day on Pacific Coast Highway.

Looked in at me; and when I could see her,
She seemed to be somebody I ought to know.
Opened the door; sat down beside me.
Then with a roar, we started to roll.
She'd been hummin', thumbin', hitchin' and wishin'
For a good day on Pacific Coast Highway.

Looked like a swan, but brown as Chuck Berry -
A summer's dawn, yeah, light as a fairy.
We got to town; she said her name was Mary.
She'd been hit, she'd been whipped,
She'd been hummin', she's been bummin' all her life.
(On the highway - On and on)
(On the highway - On and on)

Summer's gone
Summer's gone away
Gone away
With yesterday

Old friends have gone
They've gone their separate ways
Our dreams hold on
For those who still have more to say

Summer's gone
Gone like yesterday
The nights grow cold
It's time to go
I'm thinking maybe I'll just stay

Another summer gone

Summer's gone
It's finally sinking in
One day begins
Another ends
I live them all and back again

Summer's gone
I'm gonna sit and watch the waves
We laugh, we cry
We live then die
And dream about our yesterday

It's automatic when I
Talk with old friends
The conversation turns to
Girls we knew when
Their hair was soft and long
And the beach was the place to go

Suntanned bodies and
Waves of sunshine
The California girls and a
Beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather
Let's get together and do it again

With a girl the lonely sea looks good
Makes your night times warm and out of sight (ou)

Been so long, long, long, long
Been, been, (so long) been, been, been (so long)
Been, been, (so long) been, been, been

Been so long

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now

Well I've been thinking 'bout
All the places we've surfed and danced and
All the faces we've missed so let's get
Back together and do it again

Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now, hey now
