I’m Ready For Love by Tommy Rattigan

Lyrics

I’M READY FOR LOVE
© Tom Rattigan 2025

I’m ready for love. My spirit is free
I’m ready for love – If you want my heart
If you want my heart – If you want my heart.
I am ready for love

Kiss beneath the midnight stars
Let love play the symphony
Touching – holding – silent vows
Dancing where the shadows dance
Floating on veil of light
Halley’s comet – burning bright

I’m ready to fly. As free as a bird
I’m ready to fly – If you’ll hold my hand
If you’ll hold my hand – If you’ll hold my hand
I am ready to fly

Whispered words make up the song
Beating hearts, the melody
Dancing to a lover’s tune
All the way to ecstasy
Only love can conquer all
And stop the sea from running wild

I’m ready for love. My spirit is free
I’m ready for love – If you want my heart
If you want my heart – If you want my heart.
I am ready for love

repeat last verse and/or chorus

Bio

published author, Artist, poet/songwriter-not singer! Almost 70 now and once had the dream of writing many songs. Became disillusioned with the whole business almost ten years ago. Long story! This will be the first set of lyrics I have written in 5-6years. A last throw of the dice-so to speak
