Dear Prudence lyrics[]

Dear Prudence

Won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence

Greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful, and so are you

Dear Prudence

Won't you come out to play?


Dear Prudence

Open up your eyes

Dear Prudence

See the sunny skies

The wind is low, the birds will sing

That you are part of everything

Dear Prudence

Won't you open up your eyes?


Look around, round

Look around, round, round

Look around


Dear Prudence

Let me see you smile

Dear Prudence

Like a little child

The clouds will be a daisy chain

So let me see you smile again

Dear Prudence

Won't you let me see you smile?


Dear Prudence

Won't you come out to play?

Dear Prudence

Greet the brand new day

The sun is up, the sky is blue

It's beautiful, and so are you

Dear Prudence

Won't you come out to play?


Lyrics: Lennon/McCartney
