Out on the ocean sailing away

I can hardly wait

To see you come of age

But I guesswe’ll both just have to be patient

‘Cause it's a long way to go A bard row to hoe

Yes it's a long way to go

But in the meantime

Before you cross the street

Take my band

Life is what happens to you

While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep Say a little

prayer Every day in every way It's
