If It Wasn'T For Him Needing Me

If it wasn’t for him needing me I think I would crumble and die The thing that keeps me going strong Is that pleading look in his eye His mother left us years ago For that castle in the sky If it wasn’t for him needing me I think I would crumble and die If it wasn’t for him trusting me To help him along his way I think I would just pack my bags And from this life I'd run away But then at night when beside his bed We both kneel down to pray And he thanks the Lord that I’m his Dad Then I know that I’ve got to stay If it wasn’t for him loving me With everything that he’s got I think that how to give love back Is something I would have forgot When she died I wanted to die too But I knew that I could not Because I had to raise our little boy And it’s what I want to do a lot If it wasn’t for him needing me I think I would crumble and die The thing that keeps me going strong Is that pleading look in his eye His mother left us years ago For that castle in the sky If it wasn’t for him needing me I think I would crumble and die
