When You're Ready 歌词

In this life there will be trouble But you shall overcome They'll hurt you in your heartstrings They'll leave you in the dust But you do just like I told you Stand strong and hold your own A soft answer quiets wrath A gentle whisper breaks a bone I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up 'Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you Make sure they love you half as much as me In the night there will be darkness But your light is bright enough There'll be lovers sometimes leaving And lovers you'll stand up But you do just like I told you Keep your heart above all things It's a wicked world, my lovely But you don't have to let it in I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up 'Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you Make sure they love you half as much as me So for now I'll be your audience applause For now I'll leave the night light on And I know the time is flying So much has already flown And I'm watching you just color Yeah, I'm watching you just color With your brand new pajamas on I can't tell you who to love I don't know who that might be I hope they cheer you up like crazy Sweep you right up off your feet Though I don't want you to grow up 'Cause I don't want you to leave When you're ready to choose someone Make sure they love you Make sure they love you God, I pray they love you half as much as me
