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)
