Heart Wide Open

Before I met you, my life was starting to crumble Along every road were bumps that made me stumble I learned at a young age to close up my poor heart To stop a relationship before it could even start I walked around half-dead, living in the darkness Seeing nothing, loving no one feeling less Then one day the clouds began to roll away And I saw the beautiful sun light up my way To my surprise things didn't seem all bad I wasn't aware of what potential I really had You saw through the mess I had made of my life And even dared to make me your loving happy wife So take my heart and keep it forever safe dear And know that I will eternally be so very near To hold you, to love you, to support and care And all my hopes and fears I promise to share I used to be closed up wishing and hoping That someone would hold my heart wide open
