UNTITLED
by Mark and Vijay David

I used to know a guy
Who sang for the love of his music
He sang in a way
Of how we all could relate to him yeah
When I saw him
How his face would shine so bright
He had his unique smile
That could melt away your heart

CHORUS
Mr J was what I used to call him
Mr J the man with the beautiful smile
Mr J oh how you touch their lives yeah
Mr J I still can hear Carolina On My Mind

He used to play from place to placed
And doing what he does best every once in awhile
And played his guitar with sweet Carolina in my mind
People and friends were always there by his side
To hear him sing their blues away
Now that he's gone
His smile to keep me alive

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE

Close your eyes
It's alright
You can close your eyes
Close your eyes
It's alright
Cause sweet Carolina on my mind

GUITAR SOLO

(CHORUS)

VIJAY DAVID has also written the following prose for Jairus and will recite it that day:

MY BROTHER, MY FRIEND, MY SONG by Vijay David When my time comes, and the wind swifts my soul to the place of freedom, will we know each other like we did before. Will u still be J or Sir J? And when you have taken a new face, will you still have the same smile, the same laughter, the same jokes and Joy? My brother, my friend, my song. We have never said goodbye but see you later. We are alone sometimes but not alone coz the memories of u are always in and around me/us. Gonna keep on dancing with you always in a song, u'r love is in me and all who knows u and loved you. And we will share your love around. Thank you 4 all the things you have taught me to love, to give, to live in our ups n downs. And once again thank you my brother, my friend, my song. Sir J.
