About Time To Get Alone

"Time to Get Alone" is a song written by Brian Wilson for the American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released on their 1969 album 20/20 and produced by Carl Wilson. It is a waltz in the style of baroque pop. Brian originally wrote and produced the song for the band Redwood, which would later become known as Three Dog Night. PopMatters calls the song "a dream, right on down the line from Carl's feathery lead vocal—and the way it contrasts with the up-and-down crunch of the waltz backdrop—to the sumptuously layered arrangement of the chorus to the immaculate production job to the unadorned coda (which is from the extended version).

I looked at you, baby
And what did I see
I saw love in your eyes
Made me feel so warm inside

Now look at me, baby
And what do you see?
You see love in my eyes
Gleaming just for you and now we know it's

Time to get alone
To get alone
And just be together
We'll only be together

Come and do a couple days
Just a ways
Away from the people
And safe from the people

The pine scented air
Smells so good in the snow
In our toboggan we'll go
Screaming down the mountainside

The touch of your cheeks
When they're rosy and cold
Feels so cozy to hold
Just to take you close and make you warm

It's time to get alone
To get alone
And just be together
We'll only be together

Come, do a couple days
Just a ways
Away from the people
And safe from the people

Lyin' down on our backs, lookin' at the sky
Lookin' down through the valley so deep and wide
Aren't you glad we finally got away? Glad we finally got away
Aren't you glad we finally got away?

Now I looked around baby
And what do I see
I see love in your eyes
And I'm so glad that we finally had some

Time to get alone
To get alone
And just be together
We'll only be together

Come, do a couple days
Just a ways
Away from the people
And safe from the people

The three lead singers were backed by Jimmy Greenspoon (organ), Joe Schermie (bass), Mike Allsup (guitar) and Floyd Sneed (drums). With their distinctive and sometimes extraordinary harmonic blend, the band registered an impressive 21 Billboard Top 40 hits (with three hitting number one) between 1969 and 1975. Their startling version of John Lennon and Paul McCartney’s ‘'It’s For You’' typified the band at their best, but it was their original arrangements of the work of lesser-known writers that brought welcome exposure and considerable royal… more »
