My Beautiful Boy

I know we carried on late

I know my head ain't on straight

I know you ain't gon' hear me, babe

I know you ain't even awake

Hey, but when I can see you, love

Hey, I can really believe in love

My beautiful boy

I know this world ain't never fair

I know there's trouble everywhere

But I see your body lyin' there

I see the moonlight in your hair

Hey, you got nothin' to doubt or fear

Hey, not as long as I'm standin' here

My beautiful boy

My beautiful boy

I couldn't fit it in these lines

My beautiful boy

I couldn't fit it in to rhyme

But, hey, when I see you, love

Hey, I can really believe in love

My beautiful boy

They say that Heaven ain't so bad

For heaven's sakes, now, ain't it sad?

Just what in heaven would I do?

Just walk around and look for you

And what if he wasn't there?

And what if I wasn't there?

My beautiful boy

My beautiful boy

I couldn't fit it in these lines

My beautiful boy

I couldn't fit it in to rhyme

Yeah, but when I can see you, love

I can really believe in love

My beautiful boy
