My arms open wide

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 Tim Windisch 07/26/2022
