My Arms Stay Open Late Lyrics - Jean Shepard

The baby cries, I could almost die from lonesome 

The late shows 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 

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
