Verse 1:
Wouldn't it be n F ice if we were older
And we wouldn't h Bb ave to wait so  Gm7 long
And  C7 wouldn't it be n F ice to live together
In the kind of w Bb orld where we be Gm7 long C7
Dm7/A You know it's gonna make it Cm7/F  that much better
Dm7/A When we can say goodnight and  Am7 stay tog Gm7 ether C7
Verse 2:
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
What happy times together we'd be spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be n F ice

Dmaj7 Maybe then there  Gmaj7 wouldn't be a single thing we c F#m7 ouldn't do Bm7
We could be m F#m7 arried (we could be m Bm7 arried)

Oh, wouldn't it be F  nice
coda:
(slow down)
Dm7/A You know it seems the more we  Cm7/F talk about it
Dm7/A It only makes it worse to  Am7 live with Gm7 out it
But lets  Am7 talk ab Gm7 out it C7
(resume original tempo)
Wouldn't it be n F ice
Good night, baby
Sleep tight, baby... (fade)
