Lyrics

1. Climb up on 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

Chorus
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
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
When I'm old and grey, dear
Promise you won't stray, dear
I love you so, Sonny boy

2. You're my dearest prize, Sonny Boy
Sent from out the skies, Sonny Boy
Let me hold you nearer
One thing makes you dearer
You've your mother's eyes, Sonny Boy

Chorus
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
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
And then the angels grew lonely
Took you 'cause they're lonely
Now I'm lonely too, Sonny Boy
