Chet Baker › Lyrics › Sonny Boy

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 my 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 gray, dear, promise you won't stray, dear
For I love you so, Sonny Boy

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

When there are gray skies, I don't mind the gray skies
You make them blue, Sonny Boy
Friends my 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
*But if the angels grow lonely, Take you 'cause they're lonely
I'll follow you, Sonny Boy
