Beautiful Boy
John Lennon
(also version by Celine Dion)

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

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day in every way
It’s getting better and better

Chorus

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:

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you’re busy making other plans

Chorus

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
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean
(whispers)
