lyrics

OPEN WIDE

Love,
Thank you very much
For keeping me waiting
I think it’s time for you to wait on me
Love,
I hear you’re kind—
Too kind
Well, would you be so kind to take me to the door?
And have it…

Open wide and let me fall
Safely in a lover’s arms
I’ve searched high and I’ve looked far
For a perfect place to rest my heart

Love,
I can’t see your face
But you can make me wonder
I wonder just how good this life can be
Love,
Oh, come on, Love
I swear that I’ll be true
Just lead me to a better place
Where all I know is you

Open wide and let me fall
Safely in a lover’s arms
I’ve searched high and I’ve looked far
For a perfect place to rest my heart

Open wide and let me fall
Safely in a lover’s arms
Don’t hide me from where you are
From a perfect place to rest my heart

I’ve been knockin’, knockin’ for far too long
Yeah, I’ve been knockin’, knockin’ for far too long
I’ve been knockin’, knockin’ for far too long
I’ve been knockin’, knockin’—
And I want in

Open wide and let me fall
Safely in a lover’s arms
I’ve searched high and I’ve looked far
For a perfect place to rest my heart

Open wide and let me fall
Safely in a lover’s arms
Don’t hide me from where you are
From a perfect place to rest my heart
