Lyrics for Wouldn't It Be Nice

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long And wouldn't it be nice to live together In the kind of world where we belong? You know it's gonna make it that much better When we can say goodnight and stay together Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up In the morning when the day is new And after having spent the day together Hold each other close the whole night through? Happy times together we've been spending I wish that every kiss was never ending Wouldn't it be nice? Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray It might come true (run, run with you) Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do We could be married (we could be married) And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy) Oh, wouldn't it be nice? You know it seems the more we talk about it It only makes it worse to live without it But let's talk about it Wouldn't it be nice? Good night, my baby Sleep tight, my baby Good night, my baby Sleep tight, my baby
