My Boy lyrics

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

Ref.

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 stop

We're more like strangers now

Each acting out a part

I have laughed, I have cried

I have lost every game

Taking all that I can take

But I'll stay just the same

Ref.

Sleep on, you haven't heard a word

Perhaps it's just as well

Why spoil your little dreams

Why put you through that hell

Life is no fairy tale as one day you will know

But now you're just a child

I'll stay here and watch you grow

Ref.
