Elvis Presley - My Boy
Elvis gives a convincing performance full of strength and passion.

Recorded: 1973/12/13, first released on "Good Times" album 1974
(Words & Music: B. Martin / P. Coulter)

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
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

  • What a lovely song. ...

    What a lovely song. Elvis can never be replaced, he was one of a kind. All his life he did for others and not for himself, he gave to charity many of which are not published. He was blessed with a voice which he shared with the world and gave inspiration to others. May Elvis rest in everlasting peace, I thank him personally for the joy he has given not only to me but also to the rest of the world of which he gave all of himself. Elvis will always be in my heart.

    This has always been one of my favorite songs. This splendid and powerful song should have been a #1 hit for Elvis. Elvis' voice range was spectacular. Elvis will always be #1. I'm so very honored to be an avid Elvis collector. I became an Elvis fan completely on my own. Thank you so very much for making and posting that fabulous video, 5 Stars.

    I know he did some great songs but this is my absolute favourite of his - the melody, the arrangement, the soul and above all the words. Vastly underrated song which has always stayed with me.
