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

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

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
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
Darling
Darling Sean
