WITH OPEN ARMS
(Burt Bacharach / Hal David)


Jane Morgan - 1959
Adam Faith - 1960






As recorded by JANE MORGAN:

I wait with open arms
Down by the river where the boats come in
And when the boats comes in
I run to him with open arms

Although he's on the shore
His heart is still a hundred miles at sea
But then he kisses me
And I can tell he's mine once more

All night I hold him tight
He's mine until the dawn
Then when the fishing boats 
Go out again, he's gone, gone away and

I pray all through the day
That he'll return and make my life begin
And when his boat comes in
I run to him with open arms

(Down by the river where the boats come in)

All night I hold him tight
He's mine until the dawn
Then when the fishing boats 
Go out again, he's gone, gone away and

I pray all through the day
That he'll return and make my life begin
And when his boat comes in
I run to him with open arms

(Down by the river where the boats come in)

As recorded by ADAM FAITH:

She waits with open arms
Down by the river where the boats come in
And when the boats come in
She runs to me with open arms

Although I'm on the shore
My heart is still a hundred miles at sea
We kiss, then suddenly
My heart belongs to her once more

All night I hold her tight
We kiss until the dawn
Then when the fishing boats 
Go out again, I'm gone, gone away and

I pray all through the day
That she will wait until my boat comes in
And when my boat comes in
She'll run to me with open arms
