Angela Predhomme - I'm Not Ready Yet Lyrics

You drew a picture of me and you
With purple crayon so sharp and new
And I felt richer than anyone
It said "I love you, from me to mom"
I read you books as you lay in bed
You had your favorites, you always said...

Oh, come on
Please don't make that the last one
Read it again like the last time
It's too early for bed
I'm not ready yet

You rode the school bus and made new friends
Stacked up those Legos until they fell
You went through clothes just like water then
You thought the big kids must be age 10
In early summer, you got a bike
I let go as you held on so tight
I said

I, I guess that push was the last one
You needed me for the last time
You can do it yourself
I'm not ready yet

Now in the basement four boxes high
Near that old bike you're too big to ride
That's where your books went and all your toys
You had to save them, we had no choice
There in some papers of things you drew
I found that picture of me and you
And thought

Ah, you never know it's the last one
You never know it's the last time
I'll never forget
But I'm not ready and
Ah, you never know it's the last one
You never know it's the last time
Good days are ahead
But I'm not ready yet
