"My Arms Stay Open Late" lyrics

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'll reach some

Somewhere out there
My love you share
And 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 home

What 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 home
I'll wait here patiently

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
