Beautiful Child.

Sometimes, I know, you hurt,
And I cannot make it good,
But, baby, you wouldn’t be you,
If somehow, maybe I could,
I know life makes you cry,
And sometimes I can’t be there,
I wish it were not true,
Like sometimes you didn’t care,
But if you didn’t hurt,
Your heart couldn’t be,
The one that I love,
With the love that I need,
God’s lingering soul,
In life’s longest mile,
To love me sweet, like a baby,
A beautiful child,

Sometimes deep in your heart,
Pain goes looking for you,
But, baby, if you couldn’t be found,
Then you just wouldn’t be true,
And I know life makes you sad,
It sometimes makes you scream,
I wish it were not true,
Like sometimes you weren’t so sweet,
But if you didn’t hurt,
Your heart couldn’t be,
The one that I love,
With the love that I need,
God’s lingering soul,
In life’s longest mile,
To love me sweet, like a baby,
A beautiful child,

You’re a beautiful child in this world,
O’, and sometimes this world isn’t right,
But the heart that makes me smile,
Is the same one that makes you cry,
O’, and tho’ you know I wish for you,
A heart that is less blue,
I can’t wish for you,
A heart that is less true,
‘Cos if you didn’t hurt,
Your heart couldn’t be,
The one that I love,
With the love that I need,
God’s lingering soul,
In life’s longest mile,
To love me sweet, like a baby,
A beautiful child,
Your heart shows a beautiful soul,
A beautiful child.
