Life is what happens ...

John Lennon, November 1980, Double Fantasy
last album
he was shot December 8



Close your eyes, have no fear,
the monster's gone, he's on the run and your daddy's here,
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 --
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy.

Out on the ocean, sailing away,
I can hardly wait to see you to 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 --
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 --
beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy --
darling, darling, darling, darling Sean.
