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

[Refrain] :
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

[Refrain]

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

[Refrain] X3
