“…Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long”
Lyrics
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?
When we can say goodnight and stay together
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
It might come true
Baby, then there wouldn’t be a single thing we couldn’t do
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
And then we’d be happy (and then we’d be happy)
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
It only makes it worse to live without it
But let’s talk about it
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
