Close your eyes Have no fear The monster's gone He's on the run and your mommy's here (Chorus) 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 (Chrous) 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 Cuz 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 hapenns to you While you're busy making other plans (Chorus) Before you go to sleep, say a little a prayer Ev'ry day, in ev'ry way It's getting better and better (Chorus)
