Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

It's been a long, yes, a long long time

Since I've seen a rainbow, smelled an apple pie

Played with the clouds passing by

Remembering those, those happy days

Splashing in the puddles after the rain

Will I ever see them again?


But then You came with Your arms open wide

Bringing back the rainbow after the rain

Bringing back the sunshine once again

I've often wondered why You want me

With all of my problems, child fantasies

All that I've done, who I am


And now and then I will cry

Knowing how I've hurt You time and time again

Really wouldn't blame You if You leave

But still You're there with Your arms open wide

Asking nothing of me, just of myself

You put the past behind me and then in You came


And I know now why You stay

Walking there beside me through thick and thin

Always there to guide me on my way

You're always there with Your arms open wide

Always there to turn to when times are sad

Giving me a smile to make me glad in You came
