You're sleeping son I know But really this can't wait I wanted to explain Before it gets too late For your mother and me Love has finally died This is no happy home But God knows how I've tried Because you're all I have my boy You are my life my pride my joy And if I stay I stay because of you my boy I know it's hard to understand Why did we ever start We're more like strangers now Each acting out a part I have laughed, I have cried I have lost every game Taken all I can take But I'll stay just the same Because you're all I have my boy You are my life my pride my joy And if I stay I stay because of you my boy Sleep on you haven't heard a word Perhaps it's just as well Why spoil your little dreams Why put you through the hell Life is no fairytale As one day you will know But now you're just a child I'll stay her and watch you grow Because you're all I have my boy You are my life my pride my joy And if I stay I stay because of you my boy Because you're all I have my boy You are my life my pride my joy And if I stay I stay because of you my boy Because you're all I have my boy You are my life my pride my joy And if I stay I stay because of you, my boy
