Lyrics
Until We Are Ready To See
©Dottie Moore/Rob Heath 2001
verse
Up at dawn to curl her hair
Slips her best dress on
She goes to her rocking chair
Declares, ?Today he?ll come?
I know her son lives near the home
Down the road a mile
She says that he won?t be long
But they say it?s been a while
Chorus
She is out there somewhere
In a world of wishes and dreams
Where there are things we can never know
Until we are ready to see
Verse
I try to help her to her room
Near the end of the day
She smiles, ?No, I?m going home
He?s just running late"
So I leave her waiting there
To watch each passing car
Although I know the truth
How can I break her heart
Repeat chorus
Bridge
When I come back I find her still
You see she was right all along
The one she was really waiting for
Finally did take her home
Now she?s?
repeat chorus
