My Boy

　　- 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 here 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 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 stay because of you, my boy

　　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

　　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
