  • Now here we are together
    This would've been worth waiting forever
    I always knew it'd feel this way
    And please forgive my shaking
    Can't you tell my heart is breaking?
    Can't make myself say what I planned to say

    Baby, please let me wonder
    If I've been the one you love
    Please let me wonder
    If I'm who you're dreaming of
    Please let me wonder, love

    I built all my goals around you
    That some day my love would surround you
    You'll never know what we've been through
    For so long I thought about it
    And now I just can't live without it
    This beautiful image I have of you

    Baby, please let me wonder
    If I've been the one you love
    Please let me wonder
    If I'm who you're dreaming of
    Please let me wonder, love

    Please let me wonder
    If I've been the one you love
    Please let me wonder
    If I'm who you're dreaming of
    Please let me wonder, love

    I love you Writer/s: Brian Wilson, Michael Love

  • Richard H from Wylie, TexasI could listen to this song over and over. Just love it!
  • Richard from East HanoverOne of the most beautiful songs ever made.
  • Jennifur Sun from RamonaTHANK YOU BRIAN. one of my top five favs. The line about "this beautiful image I have of you is one I understand and a lot of others do as well.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn April 21st 1965, the Beach Boys performed "Please Let Me Wonder" on the ABC-TV program 'Shindig!'...
    Two months earlier on February 28th it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at #83; eventually it peaked at #52 (for 1 week) and spent 5 weeks on the Top 100...
    The record's A-side, "Do You Want To Dance?", reached #12 on the Top 100 and stayed on the chart for 8 weeks...
    "Do You Want To Dance?" has charted five other times; Bobby Freeman (the original, #5 in 1958), Del Shannon (#43 in 1964), the Mamas & Papas (#76 in 1968), Bette Midler (#17 in 1973), and the Ramones (#86 in 1978)...
    Sadly, eight of the above artists have passed away; Dennis & Carl Wilson, Mr. Shannon, Cass-John-Denny of the Mamas & Papas, and Joey & Johnny Ramone (and also Jimmy O'Neill; Shindig's host, 1940 - 2013)...
    May they all R.I.P.
  • George from Belleville, NjWhat a beautiful melody.This song has a smooth sound and an uplifting spirit.The recording sounds very polished.I think it is one of Brian Wilson's better songs.It has that signature Beach Boy style with the harmony that they were famous for.
