Marsh, in _The Heart Of Rock & Soul_, said ‘I wouldn’t trade this
Little B-side [of ‘Help Me Rhonda’] for all of _Pet Sounds_’. I wouldn’t
Go that far, but it is a lovely (and somewhat overlooked) song, the third
Of five gorgeous ballads on the second side of _The Beach Boys Today_.

And I wondered as it got light
Were you still awake like me
[repeat chorus]
