Climb up on my knee, Sonny Boy
You are only three, Sonny Boy You've no way of knowing
I've no way of showing
What you mean to me, Sonny Boy When there are gray skies
I don't mind those gray skies
You make them blue, Sonny Boy Friends may forsake me
Let 'em all forsake me
You'll pull me through, Sonny Boy You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth
You've made a heaven
For me right here on earth Oh, and when I'm old and gray dear
Promise you won't stray, dear
I love you so, Sonny Boy You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth
You've made a heaven
For me right here on earth Oh, and the angels, they grew lonely
They took you 'cause they're lonely
Now I'm lonely too, Sonny Boy
