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 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 grey, dear Promise you won't stray, dear For I love you so, Sonny boy When there are grey skies I don't, I don't mind grey skies You make them blue, Sonny boy Friends, friends may forsake me Let them all, let them all forsake 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 An' I'm a-lonely too, Sonny boy

[ 4:20 am July 4th-2023] I heard this song as a Wee one. It was a particular favorite of my Mothers. Loved her singing it so much I taught myself to play it on our piano. Don't remember her getting through the whole song even once. Now I can't finish it either. Sentimental & Timeless music never dies. 😂 + 😊 = ❤

It was Eritrea then and it is Eritrea today Eritrea 🇪🇷

growing up in ASMARA I remember during my childhood the beautiful stone wall erected around the Kagew US base campus. I never had an idea what is like inside.

Wonderful video. Hope it will be like this one day soon.

Hello Mr Raymond, I am a film producer and I'm currently working on a great documentary about Ethiopian music from the 1960's-1970's. In our movie we are making portraits of great musicians like Alèmayèhu Eshèté, Amha Eshete and Girma Bèyènè... in the interviews we had made already, the protagonists talked about their musical influences and the topic of Kagnew Station came around. I'm writing here because we are looking for archive footages and photos of thoses times at the kagnew station and I just found this Wonderfull piece :)Would it be possible to get in touch with you so we could see if it would be possible to use those archives in the movie ?? Please let me know, it is quiet important for us to get in touch !!! This would be great for the film. thank you so much. Hoping for a reply :) Anne-Sophie

Mr Oliver, is there any chance to contact you directly?

This is Eritrea not Ethiopia.
