My Boy Lyrics - Elvis Presley

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

And if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy 

Yeah, 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
