Wouldn't it be nice if we were older
B♭ a Gm7
And we wouldn't have to wait so long

And wouldn't it be nice to live together
B♭ a Gm7 C7
In the kind of world where we belong
Dm7/A E♭
You know it's gonna make it that much better
Dm7/A Am7 Gm7 C7
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up w/ (ooh)
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
What happy times together we'd be spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true (run run)
F♯m7 Bm7 F♯m7 Bm7
Maybe then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do

And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)

But let's talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice (ooh ...)
Good night oh baby, sleep tight oh baby x 4
(fade out)
