My Arms Stay Open All Night

Sometimes I wonder, whatever happened to the old Lance?  You know, the shy country boy who wasn't even sure he wanted to join a pop group.  The innocent blonde who kept all of us in line of what we had coming up.  Even the Mississippi albino that nobody loved (except for me- why couldn't I tell you that?)  That Lance disappeared soon after we left Transcon and Lou, and was replaced by you- one who dyes his hair blue, thrusts whenever possible (oh, how that turns me on!), and parties until all hours. I don't even remember the last time you didn't go out at night.  You're always off cruising the town with Justin or finding a new club with Joey.  Lately, you've even been throwing parties of your own for FreeLance and Happy Place.  And I'm surprised you come home with all the alcohol you normally consume. But that's when I get to see another side of the new Lance: Josh's Lance.  I'm the only one you'll let take care of you.  When you wake up with a hangover, I already have asprin and a glass of water waiting for you.  Then when you're feeling a bit better, I'm there to give you a relaxing massage.  And when you're finally ready to face the world, I'm the first one to welcome you with a kiss.  Then you thank me for everything I do. I guess waiting for you to come home every night isn't that bad.  Because I will always be home for you. I know you like the nightlife, the parties and the fun You like to hang around until the last song has been sung So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know When all the laughter's ended There's still somewhere you can go My arms stay open all night Sundown until the morning light Hoping you can find where you belong I'll leave the lights on My heart is never closed You're the only love I know One dream I have is to hold you tight My arms stay open all night Please don't think I'm crazy I haven't lost my mind But when it comes to loving you I can always find the time So if it's after midnight Or just before the break of day Anytime you need me, it will never be too late My arms stay open all night Sundown until the morning light Hoping you can find where you belong I'll leave the lights on My heart is never closed You're the only love I know One dream I have is to hold you tight My arms stay open all night So when your so-called friends go home You don't ever have to be alone My arms stay open all night Sundown until the morning light Hoping you can find where you belong I'll leave the lights on My heart is never closed You're the only love I know One dream I have is to hold you tight My arms stay open all night My arms stay open all night My arms stay open all night 24 hours (My Arms Stay Open All Night, Tanya Tucker) Back to Stories Back to Index
