Notes
-
- Good example of Brian's assertion that "Dennis' music was as sensitive as anyone's".
- Quite possibly one of Dennis' most moving and evocative vocals.
- At 3:01, listen for the subtle "classic Beach Boys harmonies" which build into a total Wall of vocal harmony and orchestration by 3:31.
- In this writer's opinion, this song and track is better than the more popular "Forever".
- The string quartet at the end sends chills up my spine every time I hear it.
- Lyrics

The night has come
Cuddle up to me
Keep warm
Mmm close to me
In dreams
We'll dream
Making love to wake
To find
Mmm we're still one
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love for me
Is so
Warm and good to me
Growing every day
Honey
Honey
I'm in love
Ooooo
I know a man
Who's so in love
Mm mm
The night
Has come
Cuddle up
To me
Keep warm
Mm close to me
Your love
Your love
Your love
Your love for me
Is so warm and good to me
Growing every day
Honey
Honey
I'm in love
Ooooo oooo oooooooo
I know a man
Who's so in love
Mm mm
