Your sleeping son I know, but realy this can't wait,

I wanted to explain, before it get's to 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 a part.


I have laughed I have cried, I have lost every game,


I've taken all that I can take, but I'll stay 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 that hell.


Life is no fairytale as one day you will know,


but now your 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.





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.


my boy
