| Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy
|
| Though you’re only three, Sonny Boy
|
| You’ve no way of knowing
|
| There’s no way of showing
|
| What you mean to me, Sonny Boy
|
| When there are gray skies
|
| I don’t mind the gray skies
|
| You make them blue, Sonny Boy
|
| Friends may forsake me
|
| Let them all forsake me
|
| I still have you, Sonny Boy
|
| You’re sent from Heaven
|
| And I know your worth
|
| You’ve made a Heaven
|
| For me, right here on Earth
|
| When I’m old and gray, dear
|
| Promise you won’t stray, dear
|
| For I love you so, Sonny Boy
|
| When there are gray skies
|
| I don’t mind the gray skies
|
| You make them blue, Sonny Boy
|
| Friends may forsake me
|
| Let 'em, let 'em all forsake me
|
| I still have you, Sonny Boy
|
| You’re sent from Heaven
|
| And I know your worth
|
| Why, you made a Heaven
|
| For me, right here on Earth
|
| And the Angels, they grew lonely
|
| And they took you because they were lonely
|
| Now I’m lonely too, Sonny Boy |
