Image Of A Girl

 The Safaris

 Written by Richard Clasky and Marvin Rosenberg

 

 Peaked at #6 in 1960

 Later covered as a regional hit by LA disc jockey Lloyd Thaxton as "Image of a

 Surfer," where he rewrote the lyrics with the names of local beaches.

 

 As I lie awake resting from the day

 I can hear the clock passing time away

 Oh, I couldn't sleep for on my mind

 Was the image of the girl I hope to find

 Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

 I look straight up at the ceiling above

 Thinking of the girl whom I will love

 Oh, would it be soon when she exists?

 The image of the girl I've always wished

 Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

 I twisted and I turned, ooh, trying to sleep

 But all I could do was only to weep

 For I haven't found that image yet

 Of all the girls that I have met

 

 And now the clock is still passing time

 And I know someday that she will be mine

 And I know she'll always bring me love

 For she's the image of the girl I love

 Whoa, (image of a girl) oh, oh, oh, oh

 

 Whoa, oh, oh, oh

 Oh, oh, oh (image of a girl) oh, oh, oh, oh

 Whoa, oh, oh, oh

 Oh, oh, oh (image of a girl)
