Beautiful Child
Eurythmics · Boxed [2005]
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
You know it doesn't burn
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

Released during a period where Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart continued to refine their unique sonic palette, the track exemplifies their ability to craft intimate, melodic narratives within a polished production framework. While often associated with their broader catalogue of hits, the song reflects the band's consistent exploration of emotional depth and sophisticated arrangement. It remains a testament to their enduring influence on the genre, offering listeners a refined example of their collaborative artistry without relying on the high-energy hooks that defined their most commercial successes.
