Dave 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_.

Verse 2:

	As I drove away I felt a tear
	It hit me I was losing someone dear

	And I wondered as it got light
	Were you still awake like me

[repeat chorus]
