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
