[Verse 1: Brian Wilson]

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?

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]

You know it's gonna make it that much better

When we can say goodnight and stay together

[Verse 2: Brian Wilson]

Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up

In the morning when the day is new?

After having spent the day together

Hold each other close the whole night through

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]

But happy times together we've been spending

I wish that every kiss was never-ending

Oh, wouldn't it be nice?

[Bridge: Mike Love, Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson]

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray, it might come true (Run, run, we-ooh)

Oh, 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?

[Chorus: Brian Wilson]

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

But wouldn't it be nice?

[Outro: Mike Love]

Goodnight, my baby

Sleep tight, my baby

Goodnight, my baby

Sleep tight, my baby

Goodnight, my baby

Sleep tight, my baby
