Sonny Boy Lyrics - When There Are Grey Skies - Red Garland

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 gray skies, 

I don't mind the gray 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 made a heaven 

For me here on earth. 

When I'm old and gray dear 

Promise you won't stray dear 

For I love you so Sonny Boy. 

[Chorus] 

You're sent from heaven 

And I know your worth. 

You've made a heaven 

For me here on earth. 

And the angels grew lonely 

Took you because they were lonely 

I'm lonely too Sonny Boy.
