Carl Wilson lyrics

My nights were getting better
Without a lover
The feeling of peace I had
All by myself
Free to fill my space with
Things I really wanted
Giving no excuses I even had my own place
Had my own place

Those long nights
Those bright lights
Those carefree days
Those long nights
Those bright lights
I tell you I got it made

Never ever realized that I was lonely

You invite me to pick up my award
After all the time I've been out here
My music is still the same
Why is it just now getting there?
Wonder why this one got such play?
Wonder why all the fuss is made?
Now the turntables goin' 'round and 'round

Who's the judge of this anyway?
My music said what I had to say
Who decides if it's wrong or right?
The authority with such insite?

It's like I'm sailing on the ocean
Every time I see your eyes
You could be the wind that keeps me floating
I could be in heaven for all I know
Heaven's a place for me to go
No one ever could have told me how
No one ever could have told me how
Heaven could be here on earth

I know your heart is very tender
Your soft touch the breeze of life
In your arms I feel a comfort

You know that there's an achin' deep inside me
Tearin' me apart each lonely day
You can sooth my spirit with some of your lovin'
With you by my side we can make it OK
There's a way of love with you
And I'm seeing the glow
All I need is understandin' just to
Let me grow

I can't tell you now 'bout all of my reasons
Burdens of this life have me in a trance

I've spend to many empty nights
Wait for you to touch me
And make it right
Will you give in
To what you felt was real?
Hurry love, hurry 'fore this feeling
Fades and slips away
Hurry love, hurry let her see that I
Need her to lay
Close to my heart
I've watched you all through your busy day
The look in your eyes says you're far away
Will you come back to my once happy dream

I've been livin' in the right lane
Keepin' my speed a steady pace
I've been tryin' to do the best thing
Goin' a little slow, but staying in the race

Always believed I could get what I wanted
Even if it took a little while
Always believed I could take care of my brother
Do my thing with style

I've been livin' in the right lane
Sometimes arrive a little late

Sat in the park just the other day
Saw little children about their way
The innocence mirrored in a little face
Took me back far away

Remembered when I was about that small
The park looked the same, but the trees seemed tall
Running and playing was my big concern
It took a while taking in it all
It took me back, far away
So long ago, to another time - another place

You been givin' them all of your crush
You got them standin' in line in a huff
You know they all want to share your sweet stuff
But what you gonna do about me
I'm the one you keep on runnin' to
After they've walked all over you
I'm the one who dries your lonely tears
So what you gonna do about me

Baby what you gonna do about the one who really loves you
