I'm Not Ready Yet

(Tom T. Hall)



I said I'd leave you anytime I'm ready

Some April when all the land is wet

Some summer some fall or maybe winter

I'll go someday but I'm not ready yet.



I should have left the day your love was dying

I've passed up every day I ever set

I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready

I'm still around cause I'm not ready yet.



Well I've left a hundred times but you don't know that

Because I'm ashamed to tell how far I get

You didn't you don't you'll never love me

And someday I'll go but I'm not ready yet/



I should have left the day your love was dying

I've passed up every day I ever set

I know I'll leave you when my heart is ready

I'm still around cause I'm not ready yet...
