Beautiful Boy
Céline Dion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run and your mommy's here
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
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 (beautiful boy)
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
'Cause 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 (beautiful boy)
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
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (beautiful)
Beautiful boy (boy)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (beautiful)
Beautiful boy (boy)
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (beautiful)
Beautiful boy (beautiful)
Darling, darling, darling
My beautiful boy
The song "Beautiful Boy" by Celine Dion is a touching tribute to the beauty and strength of young boys. The song speaks to a four-year-old boy, encouraging him to embrace his emotions and never be afraid to cry. While addressing the boy, the song acknowledges the pain and struggles he's facing at such a young age, "Your tears are streaming/even when you're smiling". It's a celebration of his innocence and his strength to endure any hardship that may come his way.
The second and third verses transition to speaking directly to grown men who were once beautiful boys, but have now experienced the highs and lows of life. The song encourages these men to learn from their experiences and always push forward in life. The line, "Don't ever be afraid to fly", seems to be a metaphor that represents chasing your dreams and taking risks despite any fear that might arise. The final lines, "Don't be afraid to go to hell and back, Don't be afraid to be afraid", empowers the listener to embrace fear and uncertainty, life is full of challenges and we can’t let them defeat us.
Overall, "Beautiful Boy" is a message of hope and encouragement to young boys and men alike. It reminds us all that even when we face difficult times, we have the strength to overcome our challenges and succeed.
Line by Line Meaning
You're a beautiful boy
You are a remarkable person
With all your little toys
You have various things that you enjoy playing with
Your eyes have seen the world
You have witnessed many things
Though you're only four years old
Despite your young age
And your tears are streaming
You are crying
Even when you're smiling
Even though you appear happy
Please never be afraid to cry
Do not hesitate to express your emotions
With all your little ploys
You have various tactics and strategies
Your mind has changed the world
You have made significant impacts on the world
And you're now forty years old
Despite the time that has passed
You got all you can carry
You have accumulated all that you can
And still feel somehow empty
Yet there is still a sense of dissatisfaction
Don't ever be afraid to fly
Do not hesitate to take chances and aim high
Creating multiple plays
You enjoy coming up with various ideas and schemes
You like to fence in your world
You prefer to keep things under control
And settle down when you're old
As you age, you prefer to have stability in your life
You can run from pole to pole
You can travel great distances
And never scratch your soul
Yet you may feel a lack of fulfillment
Don't be afraid to go to hell and back
Do not fear difficult times or experiences
Don't be afraid to be afraid
Do not feel ashamed of expressing fear or apprehension

Close your eyes,
Have no fear,
The monster's gone,
He's on the run
And your mummy's here.

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
Cause 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 just what happens to you while you're busy making other plans...

I heard this song for the first time while I was with my 2 year old son. It helped me slow down, take in the moment, and appreciate him all over again. I started working on a list of songs I dedicate to him and I just added this one.

This played at my dads funeral, my grandma (his mom picked it). Totally not my style or type of song, but now its one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Now I cant stop crying thinking of what a great person the world lost when my dad died.
