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 here 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
