Father And Son
Ronan Keating (feat. Yusuf Islam) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Longing for shelter from all that we see
Why should we worry, no one will care
Look at the stars so far away
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Why don't you stay?
Deep in my soul, I've been so lonely
All of my hopes, fading away
I've longed for love, like everyone else does
I know I'll keep searching, even after today
So that there it is
We've got it all now
And here we are
What do you say?
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
I know it's late, I know you're weary
I know your plans don't include me
Still here we are, both of us lonely
Both of us lonely
We've got tonight
Who needs tomorrow?
Let's make it last
Let's find a way
Turn out the light
Come take my hand now
We've got tonight
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?
The lyrics of Ronan Keating's song We've Got Tonight are about two people who are both lonely and seeking comfort from each other. The song starts with Ronan acknowledging that it's late and that the person he's singing to is probably tired and had no plans to spend the night with him. However, he points out that they are both there at that moment, and they can find shelter in each other's arms despite what the world might think.
Ronan then describes how deep down, he has been lonely, and all his hopes are fading away. The feeling of wanting to find love is something that everyone shares. Even though they both know they might not end up together, they can still enjoy the moment and make the most of it.
The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that tonight is all they have, and they don't need to worry about tomorrow. They both long for companionship and want to make the night last as they find solace in each other's company. The song ends with Ronan asking the person to stay and take his hand, implying that they will make the most of the night and enjoy each other's company.
In summary, Ronan's song is about making the most of the moment and finding solace in each other's company despite the uncertainty of tomorrow.

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old but I'm happy
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
And take your time, think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
How can I try to explain?
When I do, he turns away again
It's always been the same
Same old story
From the moment I could talk
I was older to listen
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to grow
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everthing you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not
And all the times that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard but it's harder to ignore it
If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them they know, not me
Now there's a way and I know
That I have to go away
I know, I have to grow
@kashattack
Lots of guys have difficulty telling their dads how much they mean to them. Don't leave it too late fellas.

@JJrodriJJrodri-hn9ix
You're right. I lost my dad 4 years ago. all happened in some sort of sudden and my dad never knew how much he meant for me. I feel sad I dindt get the chance to let him know
@rustynuts686
my grandfather passed away recently and I believe my farther has regrets about not being able to express his feelings to him. a nod of the head and maybe on very special occasions a handshake ....
@itsharism
As a father and a son, it’s hard not to be touched by this song.
I miss you, dad. ❤️
