"I'd Love Just Once to See You"

Yester-day, I listened to the first disc of 1967: Sunshine tomorrow, and I noticed a couple small features to note.  In the line "It's not too late" in "I'd Love Just Once to See You," "late" is sung with a melisma (C# B A#), so while it's negated, there's a sense of degree (for "too").

While transcribing the lyrics, I also noticed the line "But this feelin's buildin' up inside again" at the end of the first verse.  This may be just coincidental, but it bears some resemblance to the first line of "Don't Worry Baby":  "Well, it's been building up inside me for I don't know how long."
