A tender ballad

[Thatchatch]

A sweet lullaby by the late John Lennon


Close your eyes

Have no fear
The monster’s gone
He’s on the run
And your daddy’s here

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer

Everyday, in every way
It’s getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean
Sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you coming late

But I guess we’ll both
Just have to be patient
‘Cause it’s a long way to go
A hard road to hoe

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 boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer

Everyday, in every way
It’s getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Darling, darling, darling my son
