Climb upon my knee, sonny boy,
Though you're only three, sonny boy,
You have no way of showing,
You have no way of knowing,
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,
You will be true, sonny boy.
You came from heaven,
And I know your worth,
You made a heaven for me,
Right here on earth.
When I'm old and grey, dear,
Promise you won't stray, dear,
I love you so, Sonny Boy.
Lilacs in bloom, rarest perfume,
Tells me winter has ended.
Springtime dear soon will be here,
When all our heartache has ended.
Closed in my arms' fond embraces,
Once more in life's happy places.
Jeanine, I dream of lilac time,
Your eyes they beam, in lilac time.
Your winning smile, and cheeks blushing like a rose,
Yet all the while you sigh, and nobody knows.
Jeanine, my queen of lilac time,
When I return I'll make you mine,
For you love I, our love dream will never die,
Jeanine, my queen of Lilac Time.

Didn't Letty have the most phenomenal memory for songs? The links in the titles take you to YouTube performances of these songs, and Mom's recall of the words is almost perfect.
