For Brian

I close my eyes  on this Warm Summer Day
And  slowly my mind is lead  far away 
Back to another time so long ago
And to melodies I remember so 
The music of Surfin Safari to Surfin USA 
There was no mistakin Brian’s talent had introduced  a new 
Music  craze 
Why there wasn’t anybody who  didn’t take  part in the songs, the cars, the Surfin,  and the Girls 
Especially the girl’s
Like the man said he wished  they  all  could be California Girls 
Why it was all summer long  that they  enjoyed all the  fun  fun fun 
But don’t worry baby they always wandered back in their room until it was Time to catch  a wave and once  again they were sitting on top of the  world 
And now the time has come  for brother  Brian to join Dennis and Carl 
All three united again
In the far distance one can hear music calling out like 
A long lost friend 
As those good vibrations gently fall from heaven on to the  sea 
Smiling down  the three  brothers see
In the  far distance the Sloop John B 




In Memory of Brian Douglas Wilson of the Beach Boys
