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 boy
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 boy
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 boy
And if i stay
I stay because of you,
My boy
