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

You're so sadly, beautiful

You're so sadly, beautiful

You're so sadly oh so sadly, beautiful



Well you got your father's hair

And you got your father's nose

But you got my soul

Sadly, beautiful

You're so sadly, beautiful

You're so sadly oh so 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

You left me sadly, beautiful

You're so sadly oh so sadly, beautiful

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
