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 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 aching 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 you´re 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
