Music Lyrics
Mendacity beside you
Right here at midnight
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly, you whisper
You’re so honest
How may our love be so blind?
[Pre-Chorus]
We sailed on collectively
We drifted aside
And right here you’re
By my facet
[Chorus]
So now, I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to cover
Imagine what I say
So right here I’m
With open arms
Hoping you’ll see
What your love means to me
Open arms
[Verse 2]
Residing with out you
Residing alone
This empty home appears so chilly
Wanting to carry you
Wanting you close to
How a lot I wished you house
[Pre-Chorus]
However now that you just’ve come again
Turned night time into day
I would like you to remain
[Chorus]
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to cover
Imagine what I say
So right here I’m
With open arms
Hoping you’ll see
What your love means to me Open arms~~
