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
