My Arms Stay Open Late

The baby cries I could almost die from lonesome

The late show's gone and the coffee's on I think I reach some

Somewhere out there my love you share but your thoughts are far from home

But when the lights on Broadway go off and every honky tonk is closed up

My arms stay open late so you'll come homeWhat you do is wrong but my love stays strong for you

I don't think I'll change a thing at all I might lose you

Though it's almost dawn and you're still not at home I'll wait here patiently

For the lights to my love never go off and the door to my heart don't close up

My arms stay open late so you'll come home

My arms stay open late so you'll come home
