OPEN DOOR - OPEN ARMS
(Fryman Fritz Gustof (m) Buddy Kaye (l) )


as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Vic Schoen & his Orchestra
1949


Open door, open door,
Open door for evermore!

Open door - open arms wait for your safe return,
Day and night there's a light in my heart that will burn.
Let the light lead you home through the wide open door,
Straight into my open arms for evermore!

They say say one winter day he left his loved one,
With a vow that he'd return when the fields were green with spring,
Though springtime came it didn't bring a loved one,
Now at night, now from her door you can clearly hear her sing.

Open door - open arms wait for your safe return,
Day and night there's a light in my heart that will burn.
Let the light lead you home through the wide open door,
Straight into my open arms for evermore,
Straight into my open arms for evermore!
Open door for evermore!
