READY (re-written)

So, a while back I posted lyrics under the title "Ready". But since I posted it, I've come to realize that it was far too literal and serious. Today, when I was trying to take a nap a tune came into my head and I immediately knew it was for this song, "Ready", but it would also mean re-working the lyrics entirely. After spending a few hours on it tonight I am feeling much better about it. So, for now - "READY" re-written goes a little like this:


READY

Vs 1:
Love came to visit but it couldn't stay
Hope gave a kiss and then it flew away
If only jumping rope could spring her high
To a solid rainbow,
She’d climb up to my cloud nine

Chorus:
She is ready for love
Ready for hope to hold her hand and smile
Ready to run into forever arms
Why, oh why, can’t I
Tap my red ruby slippers
And fly her home right now

Vs 2:
 (It takes) More than a lemon drop to melt the ache
More than skies of blue to clear the way
All she wants is home and family
Blue birds have a nest
To call their own, Now why can’t she

Chorus:
She is ready for love
Ready for hope to hold her hand and smile
Ready to run into forever arms
Why, oh why, can’t I
Tap my red ruby slippers
And fly her home right now!

Bridge:
Go on and close your eyes
And shout it out three times
There is no place like home
(repeat 2x)
