Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Shadows fall
The ocean calls to me
The night is still
She's where I wanna be
The stars all send
Their silver light to me
Forever shine
On me eternally
I couldn't think of anything
That gives me more than what you bring
The color of an endless dream
Let it shine
Let it shine
Whoaah-oh
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
Whoaah-oh
Let it shine
A flame that grows
And burns so deep in me
Somebody cries
For all the world to see
Another time
There will be ectasy
Another place
You will be next to me
Of all the lives that I've been through
I never really thought it was true
That all I ever needed was you
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
Let it shine oh let it shine
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
Whoaah-oh
Let it shine
There comes a burning fire
It fills me with desire
And all my troubles disappear
Feels like it's goin' through me
Whatever you do to me
Your words are magic to my ears
Whoaah-oh
Let It Shine - The Beach Boys
Released in 1966, "Let It Shine" stands as a quintessential example of The Beach Boys' mid-60s pop-rock sound, characterized by intricate harmonies and a driving rhythm section. The track exemplifies the band's signature style, blending upbeat instrumentation with melodic vocals that defined the era's California pop aesthetic. While often associated with their broader discography of summer hits and party anthems, the song captures the optimistic spirit of the time without relying on specific lyrical themes. Its enduring appeal lies in its polished production and the group's ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly melodies that remain recognizable decades later. As part of their catalog of energetic tracks, it serves as a testament to their mastery of vocal arrangement and songwriting during their most commercially successful period.
