I'm Not Ready
I see you today
And my heart floods with tears
Can't find the words to say
Guess my pride won't let me near
The emotions I feel as you
Leave all that I've known of you
To become someone else
I'm not ready
Here at the theater of your life
I've watched you play each role
A star shining bright
From start till curtain close
But here you are in front of me
Becoming someone I've never seen
It's beautiful but still too soon
I'm not ready
So please
So please
Tell me it's gonna be alright
Hold me
Hold my hand
One last time as you take flight
So please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later
Until next time
I know I'll have to let go
If I want to see you grow
I'd rather be the sun in your world
Than the night that makes you cold
So heart to heart
Love to love
I will be here should you ever
Need me
Should you ever need me
So please
So please
Tell me it's gonna be alright
Hold me
Hold my hand
One last time as you take flight
So please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later
Until next time
See what it is what it is
I know that time is slipping
Through my fingers
And I know we can't turn back
The pages of our lives
But I need to hold on
To the vapors of our memories
Maybe that's how we all move forward
So please
So please
Tell me it's gonna be alright
Hold me
Hold my hand
One last time as you take flight
Oh please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later
Until next time
And my heart floods with tears
Can't find the words to say
Guess my pride won't let me near
The emotions I feel as you
Leave all that I've known of you
To become someone else
I'm not ready
Here at the theater of your life
I've watched you play each role
A star shining bright
From start till curtain close
But here you are in front of me
Becoming someone I've never seen
It's beautiful but still too soon
I'm not ready
So please
So please
Tell me it's gonna be alright
Hold me
Hold my hand
One last time as you take flight
So please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later
Until next time
I know I'll have to let go
If I want to see you grow
I'd rather be the sun in your world
Than the night that makes you cold
So heart to heart
Love to love
I will be here should you ever
Need me
Should you ever need me
So please
So please
Tell me it's gonna be alright
Hold me
Hold my hand
One last time as you take flight
So please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later

Oh please oh please
Tell me it's gonna be just fine
Cause I'm not ready to say good bye
How bout see ya later
Until next time
