My Boy -- Elvis Presley

You're sleeping son, I know But, really, this can't wait I wanted to explain
Before it GETS too late why 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 here 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 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
