::Sappy Love Songs Week:: The Beach Boys - Darlin'

Whilst searching for songs this week, I typed in the word "love" into my itunes search to see what would come up. The majority of the results were The Beach Boys so I had to pick one. (Looking back on this it may  be because of Mike Love's name, but regardless, they know how to write some sappy music).

I chose this one because its a little bit lesser known and showcases Carl Wilson's talent. Brian is brilliant and all, but I think Carl deserves some credit now and again too. If not for his song writing than for his impressive beard. It's a pretty simple ditty about a girl brightening a dude's life and its got everything you'd expect to hear in one of the BB's love songs, i.e. backup harmony blasts, horns, the works.

Ohh darlin'
My darlin' you're so fine
Ohhhh-hhh-hhh

Don't know if words can say
But darlin' I'll find a way
To let you know what you meant to me
Guess it was meant to be
I hold you in my heart
As life's most precious part

Oh darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
(Darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh oh

I was living like half a man
Then I couldn't love but now I can
You pick me up when I'm feeling sad
More soul than I ever had
Gonna love you every single night
Cause I think you're too outta sight

Oh-ho darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
(Darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh huh

Woah oh oh oh oh

Every night oh darlin'
Gonna love you every single night, yes I will
Cause I think you're too doggone outta sight

Oh darlin'
I dream about you often my pretty darlin'
(Darlin' you're so fine)
I love the way soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh
Oh
