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)
