Let Her Stay
A Heart's Plea: Michael Ruff's Emotional Journey of Love and Faithfulness
Lyrics
I - making an effort to be real
Making an effort to be genuine and authentic.
Writing the words I really feel
Expressing true emotions through written words.
Imagination's gone this time
Imagination is absent or not influencing the expression at this moment.
And I - making an effort to hold on to you
Struggling to hold on to someone important.
Pray to the stars, what can I do?
Praying for guidance or help from the stars.
To keep you ever by my side
Desire to keep the person close at all times.
Let her stay this time
A plea or wish for the person to stay.
Heart and soul and mine (forever)
Commitment of heart, soul, and self, possibly implying a lifelong connection.
All that's left to find, we'll find
Confidence in finding what is left to discover together.
Let her stay
Repetition of the plea to let her stay.
Once again - Facing the same depression
Facing recurring feelings of sadness or low spirits.
I - I'm just not good enough
Expressing a sense of inadequacy or self-doubt.
And how, could I take it out on one so dear
Contemplating the difficulty of burdening a loved one with personal struggles.
It's just not fair
Expressing a sense of injustice or unfairness.
Oh I - I can be faithful to myself
Commitment to being true and loyal to oneself.
And give my love to no one else
Dedicating love exclusively to the intended person.
And pray that she'll come home to me
Praying for the person to return home.
Please make her see
Pleading for understanding and realization on her part.
Let her stay this time
Reiteration of the plea for her to stay.
Heart and soul and mine (forever)
Repetition of commitment and the quest for understanding.
All there's left to find, we'll find
Confidence in finding what remains together, rephrased.
Let her stay (this time)
Reiteration of the plea with a specific mention of "this time."
La la la la la
Instrumental or non-lexical vocalization.
La la la la la
-Let her stay this time
Repetition of the plea for her to stay.
Let her stay this time
-(Let her stay this time)
Repetition of the plea with emphasis on "this time."
I pray that she loves me
Expressing a prayer for her love.
(Let her stay this time)
Expressing a prayer for her to find a home.
I pray that she'll find a home
Repetition of the prayer for her to find a home.
(Let her stay this time)
Asserting possession or claiming the person as "mine."
She's mine
Reiteration of ownership or attachment.
Fade
Signal for a fade-out in the music or a gradual ending.
(I pray that she loves me)
Repetition of the prayer for her love, possibly as a concluding sentiment.
