Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy
You are 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 foresake me
You'll pull me through, Sonny boy
 
You're sent from heaven
And I know you 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 !
 
And if the angels grow lonely
Take you 'cause they're lonely
I'll follow you, Sonny Boy !
