 -3*   4  -5*  7  -7* -7*
Sweet-est lit-tle fel-low 
-3* 4  -5* 7  -7*
ev-'ry-bod-y knows
 -7*   8    -7* 7   -6  -5*
Don't know what to call him 
-6   7    -6  -6 -6 -6  -7* 
but he's might-y lak a rose

 -3*  4  -5* 7  -7*-7*
Look-ing at his mom-my 
 -3*  -3* 4  -5*  7 -7*
with eyes so shin-y blue
 -7*   8  -7* 7  -6 -5* -6
Makes you think hea-v'n 
7   5  5    -5  -5* -5*
is com-in' close to you

 7    7     7   7   7*  7*
When he's there a sleep-in' 
7*  6  -6 -6*  7
in his ti-ny place
  7   7  7   7  7*  7*
Think I see the an-gels 
 7*  6    -6   -6*  7
Look-in' thro' the lace
 7    8   7   8  -7*7-7* 7
When the dark is  fall- in' 
 7   -5*  7  -5*    7
when the sha-dows creep
 7    8    7   8  -7*  7
Then they come on tip-toe 
7   7   -5* -5* -5 -5-3*
to kiss him in his sleep
