[Verse 1]
Today could be a lot of fun
And precious one
I'd feel good just to walk with you
Tonight will be a special treat
You're so sweet
And I feel good just to talk with you
You know that I been a long time needing you
You say that you been a long time needing me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come

[Chorus]
I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you
Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes something new
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[Me and you]

[Bridge]
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo)

[Verse 2]
Today is another day
Another way to get this feeling across to you
Tonight will be another night
That's outta sight cause I know the way to get close to you
You know that I'll be a long time loving you
I hope that you'll be a long time loving me
And don't you know that there's so much more to come

[Chorus]
I got a heart that just won't stop beating for you
I got a love I just can't stop feeling for you
Aren't you glad now darling there's me and you
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad with these days comes something new
(Tell me tell me you know what I mean) [me and you]
And I say aren't you glad now tell me you're so glad
[Me and you]

The Beach Boys

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.
