From the very first day you were born
to the very last time you waved and honked your horn
I had no chance at all to watch you grow up
so sadly beautiful
up so sadly beautiful
Well baby needs a brand new pair of eyes
'cause the ones that you got now see only goodbyes
I 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
and you got your father's hair
and you got your father's nose
and you got my song
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 the face that turned away pale and worn
I had no chance at all, to let you know
you left me sadly beautiful
you left me sadly beautiful
You left me sadly, oh so sadly, beautiful
beautiful
beautiful
oh beautiful...
