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 apart |
|
I have laughed, I have cried |
|
I have 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 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 |
|
