That Little Boy Of Mine Lyrics - Bonnie Owens

Who cares for fame or fortune 

Who cares for wealth or gold 

Because I find a fortune 

Within my arms I hold 

A tiny turned up nose 

Two cheeks just like a rose 

So sweet from head to toes 

That little boy of mine 

Two arms that hold me tight 

Two eyes that shine so bright 

Two lips that kiss goodnight 

That little boy of mine 

No one will ever know 

Just what his coming has meant 

Because I love him so 

He's something heaven has sent 

He's all the world to me 

He climbs upon my knee 

To me he'll always be 

That little boy of mine 

And when he lays his head 

Upon his pillow so white 

I pray the Lord above 

To guide him safe through the night 

In dreams I see his face 

And feel his fond embrace 

There's no one can replace 

That little boy of mine. 

HOWEVER----- 

This is the way my dad sang it to me: 

A tiny turned up nose 

Two cheeks just like a rose 

So sweet from head to toes 

That little boy of mine 

Two eyes that shine so bright 

Two arms that hold me tight 

Two lips that kiss goodnight 

That little boy of mine 

No one will ever know 

Just what his coming has meant 

Because I love him so 

He's something heaven has sent 

He's all the world to me 

He climbs upon my knee 

To me he'll always be 

That little boy of mine 

Who cares for fame or fortune 

Who cares for wealth or gold 

God's given me my fortune 

Within my arms I hold 

A tiny turned up nose 

Two cheeks just like a rose 

So sweet from head to toes 

That little boy of mine
