	Story Behind the Song I had an acoustic lick in my head for a few years, but nothing grew out of it until I started thinking about my son. Lyrics When I peek into your bed and see you lying there Like a little angel, my Little Boy Baby Blue, It seems to me that I myself am once more a little boy And I was just given a marvelous brand new toy. But it's better, 'cause toys are cast aside But I know you'll always bring my smile 'Cause you're my blue eyed baby, My Little Boy Baby Blue. I'll take the rain if I can leave you the sunny days. I'll blow those clouds away so you can shine. I'd take your pain if that would help you find your way. I'd take your burden away and make them mine. And I think of when you'll go your own way, And all the everything you'll ever be someday... But in the meantime: I'll take the rain, if I can leave you the sunny days. I'll make blue skies from grey so you can shine. I'd take your pain if that would help you to find your way. You know I'd take your troubles and make them mine. You'll never know How much I love you from my head down to my toes... You'll never know. And every day that flies I'll watch you growing before my eyes. And now you're walking, talking, running, flying away... When the sunrise comes you'll rise, my son... You'll wake us all before we're ready But when you smile and laugh, Four hours of sleep don't seem so bad... And after everything we'll give you, And all the love we'll love you, The time will come when you'll want to sing this song To your little Baby Blue. And then you'll say: I'll take the rain if I can leave you the sunny days. I'll blow those clouds away so you can shine. I'd take your pain if that would help you find your way. I'd take your burden away and make them mine.
