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 right here on the earth
When I'm old and grey, dear
Promise you won't stray, dear
I need you so, Sonny Boy
When there are grey skies
What don't you mind them at least?
I don't mind the grey skies
What will I do to them?
You make them blue
What's my name?
Sonny Boy
What will friends do to you?
Friends may forsake me
What will you let them do?
Let them all forsake me
Who will you still have in the end?
I still have you
What's my name?
Sonny Boy
Where am I sent from?
You're sent from heaven
Have I any special valuation?
And I know your worth
What did I make?
You made a heaven
For who, right where and what?
For me, right here on earth
God bless me
When I'm old and grey, dear
Why made to promise something?
Promise me you won't stray, dear
Give me a good reason
I need you so
What's my name?
Sonny Boy
