Verse
D# Ab D#
Oh, my son, don't you go far
D# A#
I need you not to go
D# Ab D#
You are long for this world, so stay close to the earth
A# D#
Just like I told you so
D# Ab D#
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
D# A#
But we never hit the ground
D# Cm
And as we are falling
Ab D#
I turn to you
[Chorus 1]
A# Ab D#
Say now we know the world ain't round
A# Ab D#
Oh, now we know the world ain't round
[Verse 2]
D# Ab D#
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
D# A#
With everything that you do
D# Cm
We'll sit right here
Ab D#
For every breath he makes
Ab D#
For the sunlight on his face
A# Ab D#
And we do it 'til we break in two
[Instrumental]
D# D# D# D#
[Verse 3]
D# Ab D#
Oh, sweet baby you blow my mind
D# A#
With everything that you do
D# Cm
You said be strong
Ab D#
For this road that we are on
Ab D#
Could be dangerous, could be long
A# Cm
You pour into me
Ab D#
And I'll pour into you
A# Ab D#
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 4]
D# Ab D#
Oh, my son, I see how you fight
D# A#
Now you need to rest
D# Cm
I know you're scared
Ab D#
But we are alright here
Ab D#
Pullout bed, pulled up near
Ab D#
With the nurses fighting the fever
Ab D#
Like smoke jumpers leaving
A# Cm
Their plane for the fire
Ab D#
And the pilot climb in higher
Ab D#
So your dreams they don't get tired
Ab D#
Lights blinking around your head
Ab D#
You're like a Giant and the city's your bed
[Chorus 2]
A# Ab D#
Rest now beautiful boy
A# Ab D#
You're gonna make it now beautiful boy
[Instrumental]
D# D# D# D#
[Verse 5]
D# Ab D#
Sometimes I feel like we're falling fast
D# A#
But we never hit the ground
D# Cm
And here we'll stay
Ab D#
And fall another day
Ab D#
I can't remember what to say
Ab D#
Where do you think he is
A# Cm
Does he feel our gentle kiss?
Ab D#
Is he coming back?
Ab D#
Can I hold him in my lap?
Ab D#
Away from these machines
Ab D#
Monitors and IVs
A# Cm
You pour into me
Ab D#
And I'll pour into you
A# Ab D#
And we'll do it 'til we break in two
[Verse 6]
D# Ab D#
Oh, my son, it's ok
D# A#
Let the machine breath for you
D# Cm
You'll breath again
Ab D#
As soon as you can
Ab D#
Maybe open up your eyes
Ab D#
I think I saw a smile
A# Cm
When I put the SOX game on
Ab D#
On the radio
Ab D#
When the light is getting low
Ab D#
And still they do not know
Ab D#
And we can't get any answers
[Bridge]
A# Cm
But you know that it ain't dark
Ab D#
In the middle of Fenway Park
Ab D#
And the crowd sings with all their heart
Ab Ab Ab D#
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus 3]
A# Ab D#
Rest now my beautiful boy
A# Ab D#
Oh, rest now my beautiful boy
A# Ab D#
You're gonna make it now, beautiful boy
