She’s got a heart that’s open wide, to let a dream inside,

and I can’t stop it, and I can’t block it.

It doesn’t matter that I tried.

It’s a heart that’s open wide.

 

Doesn’t matter what my past is, doesn’t matter what I’ve done.

Every road that I have taken, every way I’ve been mistaken,

it’s a new start now begun.

 

And I know that I believe her, that I will not walk away.

One thing I can see is this is where I’m meant to be,

and this is where I’ll stay.

 

With a heart that’s open wide, to let a dream inside,

and I can’t stop it, and I can’t block it.

It doesn’t matter that I tried.

It’s a heart that’s open wide.

 

And I don’t know where our days may go.

And I don’t know what our lives may show,

but I know I’m not going to hide,

from a heart that’s open wide,

from a heart that’s open wide.

 

And I know that I believe her, and I will not walk away.

One thing I can see is this is where I’m meant to be,

and this is where I’ll stay.

 

With a heart that’s open wide, to let a dream inside,

and I can’t stop it, and I can’t block it.

Doesn’t matter that I tried.

It’s a heart that’s open wide.

It’s a heart that’s open wide.

A heart that’s open, heart open wide.
