My arms open wide
So many rotten days, too many incomplete’s
Started with so much promise, ended up as defeats
We aren’t built on treasures, not looking for a pot of gold
Just each other’s arms and love to share as we grow old
Where are you going to escape from the new day’s sun
Still lamenting the last one, but a new one has begun
Can’t run away, can’t build a wall, and skip the moat
I’ll catch you babe, break the wall use a piece of it to float
Singing all about the love I carry inside
How much do I love? My arms open wide
Put it all on my back, my grandma says I got a big shoulder
I’ll carry your burden and warm you as the nights get colder
Let me be your fire, light me up and keep me going strong
I will be at your side for as long as you want me to come along
Sunset is coming soon, time continues to forge ahead
Remember when you lie tonight as you fall asleep in bed
I am here waiting for you, ready to be the light in the dark
Chasing all the demons away, like a dog I’ll growl and bark
Singing all about the love I carry inside
How much do I love? My arms open wide
My arms are open wide, ready to squeeze
Take me baby do with me as you please
You know how to stoke the fire
Singing like a great big choir
Singing all about the love I carry inside
How much do I love?
Yeah, baby do you know how much I love?
My arms open wide
Till they wrap around you
