My Boy

(Martin / Couleter / Francois / Boutayre)








Your 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


* 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've laughed, I have cried, I've lost every game
Taken all I can take but I'll stay here just the same


* Repeat


Sleep on, you haven't heard a word, perhaps it's just as well
While spoil your little dreams, why put you through the hell
Life is no fairy tale, as one day you will know
But now you're just a child, I'll stay here and watch you grow


* Repeat


Yeh


* Repeat
