Elvis Presley - My Boy Lyrics
(words & music by claude francois - jean pierre bourtayre - bill martin - phil coulter)Youre sleeping son, I knowBut, really, this cant waitI wanted to explainBefore it gets too lateFor your mother and meLove has finally diedThis is no happy homeBut God knows how Ive triedBecause youre all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boyI know its hard to understandWhy did we ever start?Were more like strangers nowEach acting out a partI have laughed, I have criedI have lost every gameTaken all I can takeBut Ill stay just the sameBecause youre all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boySleep on, you havent heard a wordPerhaps its just as wellWhy spoil your little dreamsWhy put you through the hellLife is no fairytaleAs one day you will knowBut now youre just a childIll stay her and watch you growBecause youre all I have, my boyYou are my life, my pride, my joyAnd if I stay, I stay because of you, my boy
