Open up your heart and let my love come in open up your heart and let my life begin
The sun's gonna shine there'll be blue skies again
When you open up your heart and let my love come in
I know you've been hurt by an old love affair

But darling don't blame me I wasn't even there
Your long lonely nights I will bring to an end
When you open up your heart and let my love come in
Open up your heart...

Someone before me has treated you like dirt
Someone before me has made your heart hurt
Your long lonely nights I will bring to an end
When you open up your heart and let my love come in

Open up your heart...
When you open up your heart and let my love come in
