LYRICS:
You're sleeping son, I know
But, really, this can't wait
I wanted to explain
Before it GETS too late
why 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

@MrRobertJameson u have to be on crack to think that is correct...

@fblancelot I cannot be 100% sure but it is likely to be David Stanley in the pic. He was the son of Dee Stanley who was Vernon's second wife and spent a lot of his childhood in and around Graceland.

Just a poor man's Richard Harris.

WHO is the guy behind Elvis on the motorcycle? Could that be his son? There are several videos of Elvis singing this song. The song is on the 1974 album 'Good Times'. These days does it matter if a child is conceived out of wedlock? Elvis could have a lot of kids out there due to all of the women he "serviced" during his tours.
