“You're sent from heaven
And I know your worth.
You made a heaven for me here on the earth.
When I'm old and grey, dear,
Promise you won't stray, dear,
For I love you so, Sonny Boy.”

Song: Sonny Boy (de Sylva wrote the words; Lew Brown and Ray Henderson wrote the music; Al Jolson insisted on being credited too)

Should come your way,
They bring the flowers
That bloom in May.”

Oh, oh, oh what a girl!
There's none so classy as this fair lassie,
Oh, oh, Holy Moses, what a chassis!”

The best things in life are free.
The stars belong to everyone;
They gleam there for you and me.”
