- Written by Brian and Mike on November 23, 1963; only hours after President Kennedy was assassinated. Brian had just broken up with his first serious girlfriend. Brian describes it as a "spriritual song" on his notes for the Surfer Girl /Shut Down 2 two-fer release.
- Lyrics

What good is the dawn
That grows into day
The sunset at night
Or living this way
For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Within me at night)
The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"
Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Within me tonight)
I'll dreams of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like she's still there
The way that I feel
My love's like the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(It won't ever die)
