	Story Behind the Song Wrote this one for my daughters 18th birthday. Started with a blank brain on 4/19...wrote most of it the night of the 20th...stayed up all night laying down the tracks. Took three takes: one because it I didn't have my stuff together; two because I sneezed; and three because I had a bad zip disk and lost everything. Finished at 6:30 a.m. on the 21st...her birthday. Lyrics I'm Not Ready for This © 2002, Mark Bracich Am D A little girl comes into the world I hold her in my arms I'm the one to show her the world Protect her from all harm But I'm not ready for this I'm not ready for this I don't even know how the lullabye goes and I'm not ready for this One day she's walking; the next days she's talking Then she's off to her school Then it's the noise, and then it's the boys Then it's all about being cool She comes downstairs with her makeup on and my jaw goes to the floor She gives me a smile and she whirls around and then there's a knock at the door And I'm not ready for this I'm not ready for this Don't let it be time for her first kiss cuz I'm not ready for this bridge C Am / E(last) A funny little girl with a stubborn streak A sparkle in her eye She makes me laugh at the drop of a hat And she makes me cry She's got her own dreams; She's got her own life She's good at what she does We did a good job and I know she'll do fine She knows that we love her A little girl came into the world The light of my life Today she's eighteen - I don't know how to feel I turn to my wife and say that I'm not ready for this I'm not ready for this How do you know when they're ready to go? and I'm not ready for this
