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,
(chorus)
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 happens to you,
while you're busy making other plans,
(chorus)
before you go to sleep, say a little prayer,
ev'ry day, in ev'ry way
it's getting better and better.
(chorus)
