Alright, this is Disney Girls

Clearing skies and drying eyes, now I see your smile
Sadness goes and your softness shows a changing style
Just in time words that rhyme will bless your soul
Now I'll fill your hands with kisses and a Tootsie Roll

Oh, reality, it's not for me
And it makes me laugh, oh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
Yes, I'm coming back

Patti Page and summer days on old Cape Cod
Happy times, making wine in my garage
Well, it's country shade and lemonade, guess I'm slowing down
It's a turned back world with a local girl in a smaller town

Oh, those open cars and clearer stars
That's what I've lacked, oh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
I'm coming back

(Love) Hi Rick and Dave, hi Pop, oh good morning, mom
(Love) Get up, guess what, I'm in love with a girl I found
She's really swell 'cause she likes church, bingo chances
And old-time dances

All my life I spent the nights with dreams of you
And the warmth I missed and for the things I wished, they're all coming true
I've got my love to give and a place to live, guess I'm going to stay
It'd be a peaceful life with my forever wife and kids someday

Oh, we have our early nights and those pillow fights
And your soft laugh, oh
But fantasy world and Disney girls
Yes, I'm coming back

A very pretty song, Bruce Johnston and Disney Girls
Thank you

The Beach Boys are one of the world’s best-selling bands of all time and the first American pop band to reach the 50-year milestone. Their vocal harmonies are among the most unmistakable and enduring of the rock and roll era.

Formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California, by Brian Wilson, his two brothers Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and classmate Al Jardine, the group’s first single “Surfin'” got them signed to Capitol Records and they quickly became one of the most popular and successful artists of the surf music craze of the 1960s. From 1962 to 1966, The Beach Boys scored over twenty top 40 hits in the US including the chart-toppers “I Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda” & “Good Vibrations” along with the top 5’s “Surfin USA”, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, “California Girls”, “Barbara Ann” & “Sloop John B”. Several of the band’s singles also found top 40 success in Canada, Australia, Sweden and the UK. In 1965, de facto leader Brian Wilson suffered a mental breakdown due to the stress of writing, producing & touring combined with substance abuse issues, causing him to step down and stop traveling with the band on tour.

Inspired by producer Phil Spector and The Beatles' Rubber Soul, Brian focused on studio work, determined to keep the group relevant as the surf music scene was fading with their 1966 album Pet Sounds. Despite tension between members in the studio about this new direction, lack of faith from the record label, mixed reviews, and comparatively lukewarm reception initially in the US, the album still found massive success in the UK and earned accolades from fellow artists including The Beatles, who acknowledged that the album was their inspiration to further push the boundaries of pop music with their landmark album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Eventually Pet Sounds would be acknowledged as one of the greatest albums ever recorded by several media outlets like The Times, Mojo Magazine, The Guardian, VH1, BBC and Rolling Stone.
