Open Arms Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heart with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

[Pre-Chorus]
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are
By my side

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
[Pre-Chorus]
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay, listen

[Chorus]
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
Come on, so here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
Come on, what your love means to me, singing
Open arms, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Open arms

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
