Beautiful Boy/Girl (Darling Boy/Girl)

Although, Shannon is normally the one doing the blogging I thought I would jump in here for a moment. I song came to my mind the other day, Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) by John Lennon. John Lennon wrote this song when his son Sean was born. It talks about the experiences of fatherhood and the very experiences I look forward to one day have happen to me. The song was written for a boy, but I have heard a girl version as well. I am going to post the lyrics in both boy and girl fashion since I do not know what we will one day be having yet. I look forward to one day sharing and singing this song with our child.

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

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy/girl
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy/girl

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Everyday in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy/girl
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy/girl

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess well both 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/girl
Beautiful Beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy/girl

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Everyday in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful, boy/girl
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful Luke/Claire
