Wouldn't It Be Nice - The Beach Boys
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?
You know it's gonna
make it that much better
when we can say goodnight and stay together.
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?
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
it might come true.
Baby then there wouldn't be a single thing
we couldn't do.
We could be married (we could be married)
and then we'd be happy. (and then we'd be happy)
Wouldn't it be nice?
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.
Wouldn't it be nice?
Good night my baby.
Sleep tight my baby.
Good night my baby.
Sleep tight my baby.
Good night my baby.
Sleep tight my baby ...
- Notas: La
canción parte de la perspectiva de un joven (probablemente menor de edad) que
parece haberse enamorado a una edad muy temprana y que especula con la
posibilidad de que su historia dure y acaben casándose.
- 1. “…gonna…” = En
slang americano es frecuente pronunciar de esta manera el giro "going
to".
- 2. “…Sleep tight…” = Una
manera de dar las buenas noches a un niño es la de "good night, sleep
tight", en la que "tight" no tiene significado alguno, sino que
se usa simplemente porque rima con "night". Aquí el cantante la usa
con su supuesta novia, usando ese tipo de lenguaje cursi propio de niños.
