The Beach Boys : Can't Wait Too Long

Today it was a toss up between Prince or The Beach Boys and well, The Beach Boys won out. Don't get me wrong there will be a day for Prince to shine on this blog. It's funny because I used to hate The Beach Boys with complete and utter disgust. I couldn't stand silly songs like "Help Me Rhonda," "Little Deuce Coupe," and all the early Beach Boys songs. That was until I was a young man in my early 20's and living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I was actually 24 when The Beach Boys music came crashing down on me and I soon gained a deep-seated appreciation for them and it all started with the album Smiley Smile, "Good Vibrations" is on that record after all and if you can show me a man who says he doesn't like "Good Vibrations," I will show you an ignorant fool.

There are too many Beach Boys songs for me to have one favorite, but "Can't Wait Too Long," is surely one of the songs up high on my list of all time favorites. The arrangement is incredibly beautiful, simple, melodic and intricate. The vocals speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy this as much as me. This song hits me right where it hurts, the heart, the gut.. I truly feel this song.

Can't Wait Too Long

Been too long

I miss you darling
I miss you so hard

I miss you darling
I miss you so hard

Miss you so hard
Now
(Miss you darling)
Come back baby
And don't break my heart
How it goes

And now I'm alone lying down
Looking up at the stars
(Stars)
Relivin' the
Relivin' the times we shared when the moon the stars and the music was all

Been way too long
Been way too long baby
Way too long
Been way too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby
Way too long
I can't wait too long baby

Baby you know that I
Can't wait forever
Awoke in the night again
We were together
Windows of darkness are
All I can see through
Searching the shadows
Hoping to see you
Baby you know that I
Can't wait forever
Awoke in the night again
We were together
Baby you know that I...
