Ready For Love
Silverado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause it's time
Real
You know I will always be around
If you doubt
And even if you move uptown
Just like the last time baby
Ready for love
I've seen the stars in your eyes
Heard your lies
While she's sleeping
I guess we had our ups and downs
Turn around
Hey baby, you're the best I've found
And I'm ready for love
Just like the last time baby
Ready for love
Ready for love
Yes I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Like the first time
Ready for live
Just like the first time
Ready for love
Ready for love
Ready for love

I hope you never change your mind
I want our relationship to stay the same
Cause it's time
Because we've been together for a while
Real
It's genuine and true
You know I will always be around
I'll always be here for you
If you doubt
If you're unsure
And even if you move uptown
Even if you change your life
And I'm ready for love
I'm ready to fully commit
Just like the last time baby
Like I was before
I've seen the stars in your eyes
I've seen the passion in you
Heard your lies
I know you've been dishonest
While she's sleeping
While your current lover is unaware
I guess we had our ups and downs
We've had good and bad times
Turn around
Things changed
Hey baby, you're the best I've found
You're the best partner I've had
Ready for love
I'm eager to fall in love again
Yes I'm ready for love
I'm sure about my readiness to love again

As if it's the first time I've ever felt it
Just like the first time
As exciting and new as it was the first time
Ready for love
I'm ready to experience that feeling of being in love again
Ready for love
I'm ready to give love another chance
Ready for love
My heart is open for love

Hey guys, I was in Silverado and am very happy to see this posted. Brings back great memories. Thanks!!
Les Schoenberger
You guys were great, I don't know how you didn't make it big with these great songs! I saw you open for John Kay & Steppenwolf at the Brandywine Club in Chadds Ford, PA. around 1981 and it was a great show! Any memories from touring with them?
Jeff Keithline
@Les Schoenberger Hi Les, It was a long time ago! Thank You for your kind words! We did the best we could. John Kay was a gracious and generous man. He and the band made us feel welcome and we had a great time. The audiences for the tour - obviously they mostly came to see Steppenwolf - received us pretty well, with one notable exception in Rochester NY. It was a big outdoor show and there was a sizable biker contingent. They wanted their Steppenwolf and not us!! There was some throwing of objects etc so we changed up mid-set and played some covers - Byrds, Beatles, Kinks, a couple more...including Born To Be Wild (which got a big reaction - positive from the crowd, negative from John Kay, but he forgave us). All in all it was a a memorable tour!! Thanks for jogging my memory Les - All The Best!!
Les Schoenberger
@Jeff Keithline Thanks for the great background stories! They shouldn't have turned on you guys like that, you guys were great! I remember my friend who was at the show went out and bought your album right after that! He and I still can't figure out how you guys never made it big, you had some really great songs. I guess it needs to be the right place right time, or who you know, I don't know....even Kay couldn't get any major labels to sign him in the 80's even after all of his earlier success!
Thanks again, please stay well and God Bless!!!

I saw you on this tour !! Great songs and you did a great medley of songs by the the Byrds !!!
Jeffrey Snow
@Jeff Keithline You guys did A great Byrds medley !!! I saw you guys in Worcester, Ma on June 30, 1981 at E.M. Theater. The place was sold out and you guys were great !!! Both you and Steppenwolf had new songs out, but your " Ready For Love " made the top 100 !!!
Les Schoenberger
They should re release this song today, I bet it would be a hit. I can't understand why it wasn't back then, such good lyrics and vocals and mixed really well.
