Elvis Presley - 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

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 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 her 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
