[emotive grand piano] I hate seeing your upside down smile It really kinda breaks my heart The signs must have been there How did I miss them at the start. When you're sad there's no sparkle Your eyes lose their shine I know that's not how you'd feel If I were to call you mine. With open arms I'm waiting in the wings I don't have to say a word I hear the lament your heart sings For a time that is too long Its been crying for salvation With open arms I'll relieve your desperation. I love seeing your big happy smile It really kinda melts my heart I've wanted to be with you Since way back at the start. When your smiles the right way up Your eyes sparkle illuminates the night Shining like the brightest beacon Such a beautiful sight. With open arms I'm waiting in the wings I don't have to say a word I hear the lament your heart sings For a time that is too long Its been crying for salvation With open arms I'll relieve your desperation. [piano break] My arms are always open No matter what time of night or day Let me wrap them around you Replace words that get in the way. With open arms I'm waiting in the wings I don't have to say a word I hear the lament your heart sings For a time that is too long Its been crying for salvation With open arms I'll relieve your desperation.
