Marshall Crenshaw Ready Right Now Lyrics

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
