You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it gets too 1
For your mother and me
Love has finally died
This is no happy 2
But God knows how I've tried
Because you're all I 3 , my boy
You are my life, my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
I 4 it's hard to understand
Why did we ever start?
We're more like strangers now
Each 5 out a part
I have laughed, I have cried
I have lost every game
Taken all I can take
But I'll stay 6 the same
Because you're all I have, my boy
You are my 7 , my pride, my joy
And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
Sleep on, you haven't 8 a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little 9
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 her 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
Yeah, 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
