Lyrics

[Verse 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 here just the same [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 here and watch you grow [Chorus] 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 Oh, because you're all I have, my boy
