"The song 'Beautiful Boy' was written for, or about, me. It was also just a story of a father. It was a father-not particularly John, any father-talking to his son, saying, before you cross the street, take my hand. Don't worry because the monster's not there and you can sleep, there's no turtle under the bed trying to eat you up. It was just a beautiful song written about all the things that fathers say to their little boys before they go to sleep." Sean Lennon

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monsters 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 to come of age
But I guess we'll both
Just have to be patient
Yes it's a long way to go
But in the meantime
Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is just what happens to you
While your busy making other plans
Beatiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful Boy
Darling
Darling
Darling Sean
