Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
The sun-tanned bodies and waves of sunshine
California girls and a beautiful coastline
Warmed up weather, let's get together and do it again
[Bridge]
And with a girl, the lonely sea looks good
Makes your nighttimes warm and out of sight
Been so long
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Well, I've been thinkin' '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
Written by: Brian Wilson, Mike Love
