Sonny Boy Lyrics

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

When there are grey skies
I don't mind the grey skies
You make them blue Sonny Boy
Friends may foresake me
Let them all foresake 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 grey dear
Promise you won't stray dear
For I love you so Sonny Boy

When there are grey skies
I don't mind grey skies
You make them blue Sonny Boy
Friends may foresake me
Let them all foresake me
I still have you Sonny Boy
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
