Journey's "Open Arms"

Mama's favorite band of ALL times!!!! I remember being a sophomore in high school dancing to this song at a school dance with my boyfriend, Christopher Hill (What a cutie!). Notice Steve Perry's (THE Steve Perry) white Nike's. Holy cow! I had the exact pair as a freshman...popular shoe back then!

Here is THE Steve Perry...no one like him:



 ...and here is what I saw one rainy September 2012 night at the Bangor Waterfront Pavillion. Arnel Pineda's pretty good, huh?



Lyrics

Lying beside you here in the dark

Feeling your heart beat 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

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

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

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

Love,
~Mama
