Beautiful Child
Eurythmics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made you wear a frown
The way you hang your head
Has made the tears come down
But don't you wear a sigh
My beautiful child
When you touch the sun
So don't be concerned
My golden one
You're gonna reach the sky
Fly
Beautiful child
There is no other place
The human race
Is running out of space
There is no better love
And human love
Is what it takes
And I'll be at your side
When you're falling down
You'll be feeling fine
When you hit the ground
So don't slip away
Stay
Beautiful child
