Sort of a reaction to a 'love at first sight' encounter.

Story behind the song
Jeff (my former college roommate and main co-writing partner) wrote these lyrics in 2006 and sent them to me. They sat around for a while till I finally got an idea for the music. I worked it up and in the spring of 2010, I drove to Jeff's house (in another town) and we recorded this and most of the songs in my SoundClick site in his home studio. I provided guitar and vocal and he arranged the supporting track. Hear his music: SoundClick.com/jeffleslie
Lyrics
"GET READY MY HEART"
Before today I thought I knew
How good my life could be
But then I found inside of you
The missing part of me
You took my hand and touched my heart
Without a single word
Now here I am and there you are
What are we waiting for
(CHORUS)
Get ready my heart
I've finally found the one
Get ready my heart
I've never felt this love before
If this is what it's like
When true love has begun
Get ready my heart
They say for every beating heart
Another beats the same
It wouldn't matter where you are
Someday I'd call your name
You'd take my hand and touch my heart
Without a single word
Now here I am and there you are
What are we waiting for
(CHORUS)
And now it matters not what will be, will be
As long as you are here, my love, with me
(CHORUS)
