From the very first day that you were born

to the very last time you waved and honked your horn

had no chance at all to watch you grow

up so sadly, beautiful

up so sadly, beautiful



Baby needs a brand new pair of eyes

cause the ones you got now see only goodbyes

had no chance at all to let you know

oh so sadly, beautiful

sadly, beautiful



Well you got your father's hair

and you got your father's nose

but you got my soul

sadly, beautiful



From the very last time you waved and honked your horn

to a face that turned away pale and worn

had no chance at all to let you know

you left me sadly, beautiful

left me sadly, beautiful

Sadly, beautiful

so sadly

so sadly
