I’M NOT READY (Karleen Watt)
Guess I thought the gray would never find you
Time would never blind you, break you, make you over
To me, you’re still my funny daddy
And I’m still sittin’ on the swing set
Beggin’ you to push me higher
I don’t know how to walk alone
I need your hand to keep me steady
And I know one day you’ll have to go
But I’m not ready, I’m not ready
You laugh about your aches and pains
Say getting older’s like a game
And there’s days when you’re just not winning
And it breaks my heart to see you hurtin’
You’re not as strong as you once were
And it scares me, daddy, it scares me, ’cause
Chorus
I’m starting to understand
How helpless you felt holding grandpa’s hand
And there’s so much I haven’t said
So please don’t leave, no not just yet, ’cause
Chorus
