My Boy Elvis Presley

[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
