Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

BEAUTIFUL BOY (DARLING BOY)
By John Lennon
 
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,
Ev'ry day in ev'ry way
It's getting better and better.
 
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,
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.
Darling, darling, darling, darling Sean.
 
Good night, Sean,
See you in the morning.
