🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Wouldn't it be nice?
  • Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
  • It might come true (run, run with you)
  • Baby, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do

Echo the hook

  • Good night, my baby
  • Sleep tight, my baby
  • Good night, my baby
  • Sleep tight, my baby
wouldn'tnicebaby
