Lying beside you here in the dark, feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper You're so sincere How could our love be so blind
We sailed on together we drifted apart and here you are by my side

So now I come to you with open arms nothing to hide believe what I say
So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms

Living without you, Living alone, This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to Hold You, Wanting you near, How much I wanted you home
But now that you've come back, turned night into day I need you to stay

So now I come to you with open arms nothing to hide believe what I say
So here I am with open arms Hoping you'll see what your love means to me
Open arms
