Sonny Boy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 grey skies,

I don't mind the grey 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 grey, dear,

Promise you won't stray, dear

For I love you so, Sonny Boy.

When there are grey skies,

I don't mind the grey 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.
