Celtic Thunder My Boy Lyrics

My Boy Lyrics

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

I've taken all that 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 that 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

My boy
