song music and lyrics by John Lennon, sings and signs by Richard Dreyfuss
Lyrics with pictures from video
Richard Dreyfuss as Glenn Holland [speaking]: For our final selection tonight,
 we are going to do a song by John Lennon.
Now,
 to those of you in our audience
who cannot hear this evening you will be grateful for your hearing difficulties because I am going to sing. And to those of you who have no hearing problems, my profound apologies. On a personal note, I would like to dedicate this song to my son, Cole.
[singing]
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
/ Over the ocean
/ Sailing away /
 I can hardly wait / To see you come of age
/ But I guess we both just have to be patient
/ 'Cause it's a long way to go
/ A hard road to hoe
/ Yes, it's a long way to go
/ But in the meantime
/ Before you cross the street
/ Please take my hand
/ Life is what happens to you
/ While you're busy making other plans
/ Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
/ Beautiful boy
/ Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
/ Beautiful Cole
