Dear Prudence Lyrics
[Segue/Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play?
Dear Prudence
Greet the brand new day, hey
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful, and so are you
Dear Prudence
Won't you come out to play?
[Verse 2]
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?
[Bridge]
Look around, 'round
(Round, round, round, round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around, 'round, 'round
(Round, round, round, round, round)
(Round, round, round, round, round)
Look around (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 1]
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?

They selected me and George to try and bring her out because she would trust us. If she’d been in the West, they would have put he...
Was this song about Mia Farrow
The lyrics are simple and innocent and celebrate the beauty of nature, particularly in the lines: “The sun is up, the sky is blue / It’s beautiful, and so are you.” Author Mark Hertsgaard finds “Dear Prudence” typical of Lennon’s work in that it “transcends its origins” to provide a wider message.
