Lyrics
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
Expressing a desire for aging, possibly to overcome current limitations.
Then we wouldn't have to wait so long
Impatience with the current situation, wishing for a quicker resolution.
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
Desire to cohabit, suggesting a longing for a deeper connection.
In the kind of world where we belong?
Aspiration for a world that feels like a fitting place for their relationship.
You know it's gonna make it that much better
Belief that achieving the above would significantly enhance their lives.
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Anticipation of the joy in saying goodnight and staying together.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
Expressing a wish to wake up together in the freshness of a new day.
In the morning when the day is new?
Yearning for shared time after spending a day together.
And after having spent the day together
Desire to hold each other close throughout the night.
Hold each other close the whole night through
Reflecting on happy times spent together.
Happy times together we've been spending
Expressing a wish for endless joy in every kiss.
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Reiterating the central desire for an ideal scenario presented earlier.
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Summarizing the longing for an improved relationship and life.
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
Exploring the possibility of wishes and prayers making their dreams come true.
It might come true
Optimism that the aforementioned dreams might become a reality.
Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
Confidence that in an ideal scenario, there would be no limitations.
Oh, we could be married (oh, we could be married)
Envisioning marriage as a source of happiness.
And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)
Belief that marriage would bring about contentment.
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Reiterating the earlier expression of longing for an ideal situation.
You know it seems the more we talk about it
Noting that discussing their desires intensifies the longing.
It only makes it worse to live without it
Acknowledging the emotional difficulty of living without their aspirations.
But let's talk about it
Suggesting a need for open communication about their desires and feelings.
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Repeating the earlier expression of the longing for an ideal scenario.
Goodnight, my baby
Bidding farewell with a wish for a good night.
Sleep tight, my baby
Expressing a wish for peaceful sleep.
Goodnight, my baby
Repeating the farewell and wish for a good night.
Sleep tight, my baby
Reiterating the desire for restful sleep.
