Who cares for fame or fortune
|
Who cares for wealth or gold
|
Because I find a fortune
|
Within my arms I hold
|
|
A tiny turned up nose
|
Two cheeks just like a rose
|
So sweet from head to toes
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
Two arms that hold me tight
|
Two eyes that shine so bright
|
Two lips that kiss goodnight
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
No one will ever know
|
Just what his coming has meant
|
Because I love him so
|
He's something heaven has sent
|
|
He's all the world to me
|
He climbs upon my knee
|
To me he'll always be
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
And when he lays his head
|
Upon his pillow so white
|
I pray the Lord above
|
To guide him safe through the night
|
|
In dreams I see his face
|
And feel his fond embrace
|
There's no one can replace
|
That little boy of mine.
|
|
HOWEVER-----
|
|
This is the way my dad sang it to me:
|
|
A tiny turned up nose
|
Two cheeks just like a rose
|
So sweet from head to toes
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
Two eyes that shine so bright
|
Two arms that hold me tight
|
Two lips that kiss goodnight
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
No one will ever know
|
Just what his coming has meant
|
Because I love him so
|
He's something heaven has sent
|
|
He's all the world to me
|
He climbs upon my knee
|
To me he'll always be
|
That little boy of mine
|
|
Who cares for fame or fortune
|
Who cares for wealth or gold
|
God’s given me my fortune
|
Within my arms I hold
|
|
A tiny turned up nose
|
Two cheeks just like a rose
|
So sweet from head to toes
|
That little boy of mine
|
