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)
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

Aki ni ki no haga chiru yo ni
Sabishiku kanashii koi no uta

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
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

Feel the pull of a lonely day
Thoughts like music start to play
I wonder where you were today

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
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

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.
