[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

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
