"Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)" Lyrics

by John Lennon

Original Manuscript (1980)

I can't hardly wait
to see you come of age
but I guess we'll both
just have to be patient
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
won't you take my hand
life is what happens to you
while you're busy making other plans
Beautiful Boy
Darling Sean

As Released by John Lennon (1980)

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your daddy's here

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

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

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

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

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean

Good night Sean
See you in the morning
Bright and early
