The deep color saturation of the video and sharp contrasts lends the whole song a nostalgic and almost elegiac sense.  

Beautiful Boy

by John Lennon

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

Out on the ocean, sailing away

I can hardly wait to see you come of age

But I guess we'll both just have to be patient

Because it's a long way to go, a hard row to hoe

Yes, it's a long way to go, but in the meantime...

Before you cross the street, take my hand

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy

Darling, darling, darling, darling Sean
