The Warmth of the Sun Brian Wilson The Beach Boys Acoustic Cover

(c)1964 Brian Wilson - Mike Love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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 dream of her arms and though they're not real
It's 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)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Warmth of the Sun" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for the American rock band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1964 album Shut Down Volume 2 and as the B-side of the "Dance, Dance, Dance" single, which charted at number eight in the United States and number twenty-four in the United Kingdom. Brian Wilson produced the song, and the rest of the album. He also sang lead vocals on the song, which was written on the evening of President John Kennedy's assassination at the now-defunct Hotel El Dorado in Sacramento, California.
It was featured on the soundtrack of Good Morning, Vietnam (1987) along with "I Get Around" and "Don't Worry, Baby.
The song was covered by the Wilsons' (Brian, Carl and Dennis) father on his one and only album, The Many Moods of Murry Wilson, which was released in 1967 under Capitol Records.
In 2006, it was covered by Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes, the solo side project of Relient K singer Matt Thiessen.
Vince Gill performed a cover version at "An All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson (2001)" concert.
In 2006, Matthew Sweet and Bangles lead singer Susanna Hoffs recorded the song for their collaboration, Under the Covers, Vol. 1.
