I know, but really this can't wait
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,
I know it's hard to understand
We're more like strangers now,
I have laughed, I have cried,
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,
Sleep on, you haven't heard a word
Perhaps it's just as well
Why spoil your little dreams
Why put you through that hell
But now you're just a child,
but 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'd stay because of you,
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,
