[ 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. 😂 + 😊 = ❤
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

i love this song. Thanks for posting this. it was a lot of work. My Mom had this record album.
"A song about lonely angels and this kind of stuff"
Brilliant, they don't write em or sing em like that anymore.
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
A classic. Thanks for the lyrics but, it's not a karaoke number as I am listening to Asa Jolson.
WTG Daddy!
