Roses are so beautiful And he's just lak' a rose Sweetest little fellow (Fellow) Everybody knows We don't know what to call him But he's mighty lak' a rose When he's looking at his mammy With eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you When he's there a-sleeping in his little place Think I see the angels looking through the lace When the dark is falling When the shadows creep Then they come on tiptoe to kiss him in his sleep Sweetest little fellow (Fellow) Everybody knows We don't know what to call him But he's mighty like a rose When he's looking at his mammy (Mammy) With eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is coming close to you (Heaven's close to you)
