The moonlight shines in our window
Bathing your sleeping form in its silvery glow
As your natural beauty can’t help but
Take my breath away once more
***
I stare at the ceiling
I stare at the silver orb in the sky
I trace the craters on its surface
With my naked eye
***
Too tired to sleep
My mind trying to find a clue
A solution,
So I don’t have to leave you
***
I may be gone but a little while
My work calls me away
But not to see your beauty
Even for a short while,
***
Will give me palpitations
Like a broken heart for sure
Dreaming of the day
When I walk back through our door,
***
And see you smile before me
And the love shine in your eyes
Your lips kept just for me
I dream for that time
***
We are not young lovers
A lifetime side by side
But it still pains me
It’s something I can’t abide,
***
To live without your beauty
Your loving and your smile
Your whispers in my ear
Even for a short while
***
As no solution presents itself
I sigh and take a pen
And leave you a note my darling
I can’t leave without saying…
I love you
***
A rose upon your bedside table
To see when you awake
And my heart I leave with you
It’s always yours to take

'20/20'
"Do It Again" the track that would ultimately open the Beach Boys final album on Capitol Records which was released on February 10th 1969 had originally been released as a single in August of 1968. The track was the first of many post-Pet Sounds era throwbacks to the early Beach Boys sound which would become continually more cliched and eventually lead the Beach Boys to the level of self-parody they would eventually succumb to in the 1980s while their closest contemporaries The Beatles nearing the end of their run in 1969 would go on to be viewed as the most influential band of all time. However, the song itself is not bad on its surface, and it opens with a futuristic sounding (for 1969) drumbeat captured by then-Beach Boys engineer Stephen Desper using tape delays on the drums performed by Dennis Wilson and John Guerin. The song has been re-recorded numerous times over the years on various Beach Boys-related projects most notably the 2011 re-recording at Capitol studios featuring the five surviving Beach Boys at the time backed instrumentally by various members of both the Brian Wilson Band and Mike Loves touring "Beach Boys" to promote the then upcoming Beach Boys 50th Anniversary reunion tour in 2012. The hammering and power drill sound at the end of the song was an excerpt from a track called "Workshop" that was to be a part of the uncompleted "SMiLE" album.
