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
|
