Vanessa Carlton Lyrics - Prince

willing and able I’m able to come

and if I want for you now
would you come
would you run
would you bring it back around
oh, baby how

if it all went away
nothin’ left to say
would you fight it or would you lay down
at the hand of your God could you see the light
oh my prince can’t you see what’s been found

willing and able to run
willing and able to come
I am willing, I’m willing

willing and able to run
I am
willing and able I’m able to come



Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980) is an American soft rock/Piano pop singer, songwriter, and pianist best known for the Billboard top five, Grammy-nominated single “A Thousand Miles” from her debut album, Be Not Nobody which was released April 30, 2002, and certified platinum in the U.S.

Carlton’s second album, Harmonium (released November 9, 2004), debuted at number thirty-three on the U.S. Billboard 200 and had sold 179,000 copies as of February 2006, with the single “White Houses, peaking at eighty-six in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. She subsequently parted company from her record label A&M, though she still holds a dedicated fanbase.

Her third album, Heroes and Thieves, was released on October 9, 2007 by the The Inc./Universal Motown record labels.

Carlton was born in Milford, Pennsylvania to Ed Carlton, a pilot, and Heidi, a pianist and school music teacher. Her interest in music began at an early age, one anecdote tells how after returning from Disneyland at the age of two, Carlton played “It’s a Small World” on the piano. This event inspired Carlton’s mother to expose Carlton to various classical composers such as Mozart, Erik Satie, and Claude Debussy and also began to tutor her daughter on the piano (through her father, she was exposed to classic rock artists such as Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin). She began her schooling at a Montessori school.

She developed an interest for ballet at the age of nine and was accepted a the School of American Ballet in New York City at age fourteen while pursuing high school studies at the Professional Children’s School. Studying with such teachers as Nenette Charisse and Gelsey Kirkland, the intensity and demanding training of the ballet lessons eventually proved to be trying for her, especially once she started going through unexpected growth spurts.

This led her at age seventeen, to devote more and more time to piano playing and songwriting. She chose not to become a dancer on graduation. Instead, she attended Columbia University and performed in bars and clubs in Manhattan while working as a waitress.
