<br />You're sleeping son, I know<br />But, really, this can't wait<br />I wanted to explain<br />Before it gets too late<br />For your mother and me<br />Love has finally died<br />This is no happy home<br />But God knows how I've tried<br /><br />Because you're all I have, my boy<br />You are my life, my pride, my joy<br />And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy<br /><br />I know it's hard to understand<br />Why did we ever start?<br />We're more like strangers now<br />Each acting out a part<br />I have laughed, I have cried<br />I have lost every game<br />Taken all I can take<br />But I'll stay just the same<br /><br />Because you're all I have, my boy<br />You are my life, my pride, my joy<br />And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy<br />Sleep on, you haven't heard a word<br /><br />Perhaps it's just as well<br />Why spoil your little dreams<br />Why put you through the hell<br />Life is no fairytale<br />As one day you will know<br />But now you're just a child<br />I'll stay here and watch you grow<br /><br />Because you're all I have, my boy<br />You are my life, my pride, my joy<br />And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy<br />
