Текст песни My Boy, Elvis Presley

(words & music by Claude Francois - Jean Pierre Bourtayre - Bill Martin - Phil Coulter)
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
