My Boy - Take 1

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
 Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
 Perhaps it's just as well
 Why spoil your little dreams
 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
