Lyrics Marshall Crenshaw

Marshall Crenshaw

Ready Right Now

I'm standing on the sidewalk in the sunshine

Not all the time, but sometimes, the world looks fine

When you smile at me, that's all there is

Once I could only dream of days like this

No matter where we're going from here

I know this much, anyhow

I'm ready right now, right now

This is no rehearsal, this is the one

And I swear, it won't be something casually done

With all and all of my energy

Every bit of life that's left in me

I'm going to give you all that I have

All that time will allow

I'm ready right now, right now

When you came into my life

I was taken by surprise, it's true

I didn't know that I could ever

Feel like, I feel when I look at you in the sunshine

When you shook me out of my sleep

I was trapped inside a bad, bad dream

Near the bottom of the bottom

Headed all the way down or so it seemed

I don't know what the future might hold

But I'll try to never falter or loose control

With all and all of my energy

Every bit of life that's left in me

I'm gonna give you all that I have

All that time will allow

I'm ready right now
