Story behind the song
Listen to the lyrics... Enough said.
Lyrics
Intro 2x through progression
Verse 1 Though I’ve known you just awhile, I’ve known you for so long.
And although I’ve hardly smiled, I don’t know what went wrong.
Perhaps it was my ego, getting in the way,
But even if it is, it led us to today…
Chorus I want you, though I cannot want you.
I want you just the same…
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Verse 2 I meet you in the evening, just in time for bed.
And even when I sleep, you penetrate my head.
I sacrifice my senses, I leave myself alone.
Instead I take the moment, as one in which I’ve shown…
Chorus I want you, though I cannot want you.
I want you just the same…
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Bridge The day is getting later and you’ve fallen to the dreams
About the near tomorrow, and anything it means
It simply may mean nothing, or something just the same,
But either way it caught you thinking, and mentioning, my name…
Solo Vocal, CSNY harmonizing
Verse 3 Calming definition, green-eyed of them all.
A silly contradiction, and one for which I’d fall,
This may not be a love song, or any song at all,
But even if it is, it’s one I won’t recall…
Chorus I want you, though I cannot want you.
I want you just the same…
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
Oh wouldn’t it be nice?
