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'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

Taken all 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

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

Of you my boy
