Sadly Beautiful

From the very first day that 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

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
Oh so sadly beautiful, sadly beautiful

Well you got your father's hair
And you got your father's nose
But you got my soul, 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, left me sadly beautiful
Oh, sadly beautiful, so sadly beautiful, so sadly
