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
