Lyrics

Open Arms

He picks up the picture
And remembered all they had done
Each memory lost, one by one
He's biting all his nails and watching the times pass by
Wondering which one will be his stop
Speed reads 65, but each little place passes by on by
By on by …

With the little broken hearts
Nights in the dark
His fingers running through her hair
Can always take him there–

I'm leaving this morning, will you remember I was here
I'm a long ways away, but the memories are near
I said I wouldn't cry
I said I wouldn't fold
But I come runnin' back,
To you …
With open arms
With open arms

He's learning how to move on
And how to deal with each new place,
And how to deal with each new face in his new world
She strikes his eye with a little kiss
She shows him how we're all the same; we're all the same …
Within

Chorus

The memories may dwindle, but it's easy to rekindle
All the things that have happened to me
The memories may dwindle, but it's easy to rekindle
All the things that have happened to me
