Writing Whenever You’re Ready
When I listen to songs on the radio, I listen for message and tone.
The ‘love’ songs I often hear often are trying to present some urgent need for accepting love as an immediate adventure, something that could pass at any moment. There are few songs that consider patience a virtue. So I decided that I needed to write a different sort of love song, one that would be accepting of the time and space of the other, and yet would indicate the desire and caring of the lover’s voice in the lyrics.
That’s where ‘Whenever You’re Ready’ comes from. (The ‘meet the dawn’ line is meant figuratively; to help the other get through a ‘dark’ time).
WHENEVER YOU’RE READY
Lyrics and Music by Art Koop (last revised May 7, 2018)
You’re feeling the weight
of a wildly spinning globe
upon your shoulders…
and right now you see
love as another complication
But look at me-
I’m not asking you
to help me carry on…
If you let me in,
I’ll understand
and help you meet the dawn
Whenever you’re ready
to be loved…
Whenever you
Are ready to
Be loved…
Whenever you’re ready
To be
loved…
I’m ready to love you. (2x)
The burden you carry
you need not carry all alone. (2x)…
Whenever you’re ready
To be
loved
I’m ready to love you. (2x)
So I say again
lie down, let me
massage your tired limbs –
and if you sleep,
some hope and faith can
shine into your dreams (2x)
Whenever you’re ready
to be loved…
Whenever you
Are ready to
Be loved
Whenever you’re ready
To be
loved
I’m ready to love you. (4x)
I’m ready to love ——
you.
