Phone is set to vibrate
Placed atop my heart
Every time you message
We're a little less apart
I know it's not ideal
But to me it means so much
If it comes from you I'll take it
It represents your touch
It isn't something tactile
It's nothing I can feel
But if it's sent from you to me
It's something that is real
It's precious and it's priceless
You'll never hear me say
"No" to anything from you
I want you every day
Beach boys on the boom box, surfing away
Gran’s bored, California dreaming all day
She’s drinking whiskey
And feels quite frisky
Climbs on her ironing board, next stop LA

How many syllables checked

Ninety hours in the recording studio is a long time.
You just could not decide on the perfect melody and rhyme.
Well, that period of time is a little too long.
However, it was worth it when we heard the song.
Success was something we could not deny.
Up the Billboard Singles charts it would fly.
We heard it played by disc jockeys coast to coast.
Fans in foreign countries considered it the most.
We can still hear it today although the group disbanded.
Nothing less than number one on the charts was demanded.
The song aimed for the stars and hasn’t yet landed.
like the Beach Boy's song
in the pocket of my jeans
when you text hello
THe
ensemble
produces
a resounding
klang.
