You Opened Up Your Arms So Wide

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was a crowded room, a chance I almost missed A quiet kind of magic in that first hello I carried an old worry deep down in my chest A secret that I wasn't sure I'd let you know [Chorus] But you stayed, you opened up your arms so wide You took our little world and pulled us close inside Oh Dan, you're the answer to a prayer I barely prayed The steady, faithful love that never walked away [Verse 2] I told you 'bout my girl, just two years old back then I held my breath and waited for your eyes to change But you smiled and said forever, you were all in You gave her your whole heart and gave us both your name [Chorus] And you stayed, you opened up your arms so wide You took our little world and pulled us close inside Oh Dan, you're the answer to a prayer I barely prayed The steady, faithful love that never walked away [Bridge] For every stumble, every night we made it through There's nothing I would trade, there's nothing to forgive Just grateful for this family, this grace, this love, this you [Verse 3] Now Jillian calls you Daddy, and my heart just melts You showed her what a good man's love should be We love you to the moon and back, and further still A gift from up above, you're everything to me [Chorus] So stay, keep your arms around us open wide Keep our little world forever safe inside Oh Dan, you're the answer to a prayer I barely prayed The steady, faithful love that never walked away [Outro] By chance we found forever, thank God for that night Me and Jillian love you, Dan, with all our light
