about

“Baby Are You Ready” nods to the slow-burning ballads of the ‘70s. Honoring that true “Philly Sound,” the song is enhanced with a harp player, Elizabeth Cohen AKA Lizzie Harp.

lyrics

Baby Are You Ready
Words and Music by Fred Berman and Dave Cope


For the time of our lives
Cause the feeling is right
Let the music take your mind

We’ve been waiting so long
And the feeling’s so strong
Leave your troubles far behind
And baby, we can have ourselves a real good time

You don’t need no make up on your face - You’re natural beauty
Don’t need designer clothes to make you look like a star

All that we need is just to be all alone together
Love and magic we can make it
This is the chance so let’s take it

We’ve been waiting so long
And the feeling’s so strong
Leave your troubles far behind
And baby, we can have ourselves a real good time

You don’t need to dress up for me - You’re already perfect
Don’t need no fancy jewels to make a scene
All that we need is just to be dancing close together
I spent the day anticipating
Take my hand, our world is waiting
To let go of the past
For a love that will last

Let the music take your mind
And baby, we can have ourselves a real good time

Trust yourself, one last time
And baby, we can have ourselves a real good time

His newfound interest in his own music perhaps encouraged him to make one more swing at a dream that goes back nearly three-quarters of a century. "I'm here. I'm breathing," he says in a West Philly coffee shop with a smile and wide eyes. "I ain't gone yet. If I'm gonna breathe, I need to sing!" ... more
