Mighty Like A Rose Composer(s): Frank L. Stanton; Ethelbert Nevin Performer(s): Art Tatum and various other artists
Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose! Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you When he's there a-sleepin' in his little place Think I see the angels looking thro' the lace When the dark is falling, when the shadows creep Then they come on tip-toe to kiss him in his sleep Sweetest little fellow, everybody knows Don't know what to call him but he's mighty like a rose! Lookin' at his mammy with eyes so shiny blue Makes you think that heaven is comin' close to you
