My Arms Stay Open Late

(Curly Putman - Dan Lomax)



The baby cries, I could almost die from lonesome

The late show's gone and the coffee's on, I think of each song

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.



--- Instrumental ---



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,,,
