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 leave 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 left a hundred times
But you don't know that
Cause I'm ashamed to tell just how far I get
You didn't
You don't and 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
