Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your Daddy's here
[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
[Verse 2]
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans
[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
[Verse 4]
Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It's getting better and better
[Chorus]
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
[Chorus]
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean
[Outro]
Goodnight, Sean
See you in the morning
Bright and early
Written by: John Lennon
