[Intro]
[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
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
[Outro]
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean
Goodnight Sean
See you in the morning
Bright and early
[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

But in the meantime

Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean
