Webb Pierce · Other Songs - Webb Pierce
I was ready and willing to give my heart to you
I was ready to go anywhere with you but I wasn't ready the day I lost you
I was ready to buy a ring for you I was ready and willing
to spend my life with you
I was ready to go all the way with you but I wasn't
ready the day I lost you
Someone came along that you loved better
Just when I thought I had your love forever
I was ready from the first time I dated you
But I wasn't ready the day I lost you
[ steel ]
But I wasn't ready the day I lost you
Ready
