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 mind 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'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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sonny Boy (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
