My Boy

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 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 ve laughed, i ve cried

I ve lost every game

Taken all i can take

But i ll stay here 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 litlle dreams

Why put you through a hell

Life is no fairy tale

And one day you will know

But now you re just a child

I ll stay here abd 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 ...
