Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) by John Lennon
Released on the 1980 Double Fantasy album, Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy) is one of the last songs John Lennon ever wrote and recorded before his death later that same year. It’s one of Paul McCartney’s favorite songs, and one of Cat Stevens’ too, with the song being written for John’s son, Sean.

The song tells the story of John comforting Sean after a bad dream and then going on to talk about how much he loves him and how eager he is to see him grow up. Stevens says that the song showed a “sweet part of John” that wasn’t usually on display in his songs.
