About Soulful Old Man Sunshine

"Soulful Old Man Sunshine" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Rick Henn for the American rock band The Beach Boys. The song was recorded on November 6 & 9, 1969, during the Sunflower sessions but was not released until 1998 when it appeared on the band's compilation album Endless Harmony Soundtrack. During the song, Carl Wilson appears to sing "Shunshine" instead of "Sunshine". He was said to have vetoed the song's inclusion in the 1993 Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of The Beach Boys box set due to this flub; the song was only released after his death.  more »

In that soulful ol' man sunshine
She looks so fresh and sweet, keeps herself soft and tender
No wonder that I can sing a song about my baby
She looks so healthy, I feel so doggone wealthy

No wonder that I can sing a song about my baby
So happy, together love is better in that soulful ol' man sunshine
Do-do-do
She wakes up singing songs, of happy everafters

Well let me just tell you 'bout my ever-lovin' lady
One bright September, I can remember
The morning we walked together laughin' in the sunshine

Hey old man shine your love on me
Hey old man shine your love on me
Soulful old man sunshine shine your light divine on me
Hey ol' man shine your love on me

Then suddenly the light shines through and I see you there standing before me
Today the world is new I feel so high and so far within you, yeah
Morning and evening, my love is weaving
A magical thread of joy that joins our hearts together
So happy, together love is better in that soulful old man sunshine

The Beach Boys are an American rock band, formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, California. The group was initially composed of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine.
