[Verse 1: Dolly Parton]
Lying beside you
Here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine
Softly you whisper
You're so sincere
How could our love be so blind?

[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton]
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are by my side

[Chorus: Dolly Parton]
So now I come to you
With open arms
Nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

[Verse 2: Steve Perry, Dolly Parton, Both]
This empty house seems so cold
Living without you
Living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home
[Pre-Chorus: Dolly Parton, Steve Perry]
But now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I, I, I need you (Need you) to stay
Please stay (Please stay)

[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Both]
And so I come to you
With open arms
With nothing to hide
Believe what I say
So here I am
With open arms
Hoping you'll see
What your love means to me
Open arms

[Outro: Both]
This empty house seems so cold
