My Boy

You're sleeping son, I knowBut, really, this can't waitI wanted to explainBefore it gets too lateFor your mother and meLove has finally diedThis is no happy homeBut God knows how I've triedBecause you're all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boyI know it's hard to understandWhy did we ever start?We're more like strangers nowEach acting out a partI have laughed, I have criedI have lost every gameTaken all I can takeBut I'll stay just the sameBecause you're all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boySleep on, you haven't heard a wordPerhaps it's just as wellWhy spoil your little dreamsWhy put you through the hellLife is no fairytaleAs one day you will knowBut now you're just a childI'll stay here and watch you growBecause you're all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
