Beautiful Song

Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster’s gone
He’s on the run
And your daddy’s here
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and better
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean
Sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both
Just have to be patient
’Cause it’s a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it’s a long way to go
But in the meantime ...

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you’re busy making other plans
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and better
Beautiful beautiful beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling darling darling
Darling Sean
