Journey - Open Arms Lyrics

Below are Journey's song Open Arms lyrics. Their recording of this ballad has been described as one of the greatest love songs ever written; VH1 named the song as the greatest power ballad of all time, and Mike DeGagne of Allmusic described Open Arms as "One of rock's most beautiful ballads", which "gleams with an honesty and feel only Steve Perry could muster."

It has a beautiful piano entrance and sets a nice pace for your walk down the aisle. Journey's Open Arms talks about a bit of a painful past and possibly of a split before getting together again. See if it is appropriate for your relationship.

Decide for yourself:


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
We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are, by my side

Chorus:
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

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold
Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home

Now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay

(Repeat Chorus)
