Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

                                  You're a beautiful boy

With all your little toys

Your eyes have seen the world

Though you're only four years old

And your tears are streaming

Even when you're smiling

Please never be afraid to cry 



You're a beautiful boy

With all your little ploys

Your mind has changed the world

And you're now forty years old

You got all you can carry

And still feel somehow empty

Don't ever be afraid to fly 



All you beautiful boys

Creating multiple plays

You like to fence in your world

And settle down when you're old

You can run from pole to pole

And never scratch your soul

Don't be afraid to go to hell and back

Don't be afraid to go to hell and back

Don't be afraid to be afraid
