(Piano INTRO)
(All instruments begin)
(Bass Bridge)
One more day
Just for another day
Give Him a reason to stay
The love in your eyes
As you see, my eyes cry
And, you tell me everything will be all right
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be all right
Don’t see the brightest ray
Stay for one more day
(Piano + Flute Duo Solo)
(Drum fill)
The distance that we had
Not any more, I’m glad
That’s the past that didn’t last
And, faded fast
The distance that we had
Is because of me, my dad
So, if you got to blame someone
Let it be me
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be all right
Don’t see the brightest ray
Stay here forever and ever
(Drum fill)
(Instrumental Bridge)
Remember all those days
You promised you would stay
Be there to pick me up when I’m down
You’re the one who told me
You wouldn’t ever leave me
Until the end
You’d swallow the poison
To feed me with the nectar
Stay!!!
(Guitar solo)
(Guitar + Piano Duo Bridge)
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be all right
I’ll hide you from the brightest ray
Please, stay for one more day

This songs hits right where it hurts for me right now. But it is really good. Keep up the writing, these are really good lyrics you come up with.
@findingmywingsinlife - Thanks for understanding!
You know what really frustrates me most? It's in not hearing the music!!! Arrrrrrrggggghhhhhh!!!!!
So, I hope you can send me a complimentary copy of your songs mate! I'm serious! I want to hear them! Sing them and play them! (of course, I don't play an instrument, but, I'd pretend to do so)
You are a good son in saying "Give Him a reason to stay."
How cool is that? Fitting for a father's day tribute or a song for a mother who wants to leave her husband. Or a son who longs for his dad's affection. Or of a son finally reconnecting with his mom. There are so many levels to this song. I hope I understood it right.

@zorlone - Yes, sure, when I do so, I will send you a copy.
Thanks for understanding the emotions behind this one.
Wow Ajey found the comments!!:>)
Love this one. It is a heart wrencher. I like your lyrics and I ....always wonder at the inspiration
Linda
This was intense... A connect which is rarely found today... I loved this...
Somewhere in the beginning I felt it was for a lover, then it came as for Dad...
Fits perfect for any relation in a way...
bravo AJ... this song touches the heart..
powerful lines etched with love:
"Stay for one more day"
"Stay here forever and ever"
"Stay!!!"
"Please, stay for one more day"
"You’d swallow the poison
To feed me with the nectar"
"Don’t see the brightest ray"
"I’ll hide you from the brightest ray"
That's the most beautiful love story between a dad and son.
"Is because of me my dad", I guess there should be a small pause after "me".
Your parents are lucky AJ. You know actually some of these scenes I experience now with my son. One moment we are close, the next he is distant, but now I know it happens to everyone and just wish for a time, when nothing stands between us except love.. Thank you for sharing...yes, i would really love to hear this with music.
When Jennifer confirmed the date this morning, I felt you would release this song.
Mate, I hope you are all right. By the way, did you make the call? I just did.
About the song, well, strictly considering your age during the time you wrote it, it was quite mature coming from you at the time.
Take care.
@Linda - Thank you. I take from inspiration from anything that comes my way.
@zendagi - Yes, it suits any honest relationship. Thanks.
@Viji - Thanks for pointing that out. And, thanks for understanding.
@J - Yes, I did make the call before leaving for work.
Thanks mate. Yes, I realize it isn't perfect, but certainly written from the heart.
I am fine, thanks for asking.
I have tears in my eyes, the song made me go down memory lane... Sigh..
Well, I really wish we got to hear the music too someday.. Nice work!

Beautiful, skinless, honest and, therefore, truly touching!
These lines sums up the feeling I get from your lyric:
"You’d swallow the poison
To feed me with the nectar
Stay!!!"
Thanks for sharing this!
/Jenny
could sense the rain and ruins all around. an intense journey. well done, AJ~rick
WOW! That was really nice. No matter how things change, stay. Love in whichever form it is. :) ♥
Hope all is well with u in Australia? Take care.
this one is too moving. it spurs an emotion which is strong enough to rush to ur parent for a nice tight hug. Nice.
I have such mixed emotions reading this one. I actually sang this ( let's just say I tried ) he he.
Nothing will be the same
Nothing will be all right
Don’t see the brightest ray
Stay here forever and ever
I love all of your writings, I think this one has become my fave. One emotion after another, I could have danced all night.
@Satans Darling - Thanks for understanding. Hope fully sometime soon.

tears fell as i read these lyrics...the time was just appropriate for me to read such lyrics and u wrote them ...loved them ....and ya it fits most relations
Love it :)
@mysterious gal - Thanks for understanding.
Ajey,
Quite an unexpected one from you side, heh. But this is honest, written with a lot of heart.
It did touch my heart, it definitely did.
Thank you for sharing.
P.s Sorry for the late entry, busy week :)
-Rahul
this hits me deep today... love it!
ahh... beautiful :-)
@Make Me Disappear - Np worries, I appreciate you finding time from your busy schedule to comment for my songs.
Thanks for understanding as well. Umm, yes, the theme and style is still the same as in the album this song belongs to. But, yes, the story is different.
@Shadow - Thanks.
@Raaji - Thanks.
The words sounded somewhat ambiguous! The repent that nothing will be the same again gives a connotation while "Give him a reason to stay" implies another. Again Dad gives me an impression of the day to day interactions between a papa and his son. Apparently the words flow fluidly to the point that they echo personal feelings. But deep down I have a sensation that they mean something deeper. Maybe this is just a reflection of your nature, or is it something else? Is everything all right?
@Diya - Thanks for reading.
Softer one this time... still full of emotions!! Loved it!!
-Alex
@Alexandra - Thanks.
Ahhhh... this one hits home. Beautiful.
@Robin - Thanks.
I think everything is written better when it comes from the heart, as this has.
@SarahA - Thank you.
Aaaah....what beautiful words, Ajey, spoken so clearly with images abounding. Thank you especially for this one, my talented thoughtful friend.
Very good
Deep and honest.
Reaching for something and grasping at.....
@Walker - Thanks mate.
@Judith - Thank you.
loaded with emotions...intense and dark...Enjoyed it but would have enjoyed it more had it been little less ambiguous.
Keep writing!!
@dreamer - Ambiguous?! Thanks for reading.
Yes, it isn't ambiguous......sorry in the previous read I just rushed through it....
brilliant!!....I now know why you titled it as "Until the end"...The song is perhaps inspired by father-son relationship...Father is perhaps on the verge of death and the son prays for him to stay and the brightest ray is perhaps the supposed ray from heaven that one sees after death....
Keep writing!!
@dreamer - Thanks for understanding.
Hey AJ,
Sort of bitter and sweet. You captured a lot of emotions in this piece.
@The Write Girl - Thanks for understanding.
You’d swallow the poison
To feed me with the nectar
Stay!!!
I love that. That's what lovers do, isn't it? Promise. And belief, too, sometimes. I think promises like this should be kept.
@Woman in a Window - Yes, you are right. Thanks!!!
Love this one as well!! Sorry I haven't come to check out your stuff for a while. (Ruefull grin)
Love the classical music playing in the side bar btw!! I think I will come hang out over here more often. :D
@Strawberry Girl - Nah! That's okay. Even, I forgot to drop by your place. Thanks a lot for appreciating this piece!
its really beautiful. loved it.
@thoughts - Ah, thank you!!!
There is a very good thing about this song....you could play it along a pop tune and you can also play it along a rock melody!
Nice word play, Bhai!
Very sentimental and heart-felt!
@Saadi - Thanks mate!
As I started reading the verses I felt it was an individual asking a loved one to stay and not go away from his/her life; never did I get the hint (until I reached the second part) that it was about a relationship striving to revived; the relationship between a father and son.
Why is that most of us realize the worth of something or someone so special when it is too late? It's almost a cliche now that every other person has to say "You realize the worth of someone/something when they are not with you". Nice to see that the son has finally returned to reconcile and is wishing that he get a chance to amend the wrongdoings. I truly wish that everyone who truly desires to set things right be given a chance to do so. But not everyone is blessed with such an opportunity, are they?
