You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too lateFor your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy home
But God knows how I've triedBecause 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 boyI 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 sameBecause 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 boySleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through the hellLife is no fairytale
As one day you will know
But now you're just a child
I'll stay her and watch you growBecause 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 boyYeah, 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
