Lyrics

OPEN HIGHWAY

Once could we just do things my way? You might see something good.
Try to work with me a little, when I think you should.
There've been times you've made me feel so happy, times you've made me sad.
Though I know that you've never meant to, do anything that's bad.

All this time and you barely know me. Did you know there's so much to see?
Did you know whenever we're together, that you bring out the best in me?
Now my life is an open highway. Now you made me feel so free.
Did you know that once I met you, that you opened up the world for me?

So I saw that from the beginning, I'd do all I can.
Finally put pieces together, so I understand.
There've been times you made me get so nervous, wondering what to do.
There've been times you made feel heroic, always there for you.

I want more than just a memory, just a footnote in the past.
There are all kinds of possibilities. Something that I know could last.
You and I might go no further, or we may find that we're meant to be.
But since we met I know my guardian angel, is finally looking out for me.

INSTRUMENTAL

I had lost my guiding compass. Nothing out there seemed quite right.
Now I've found the road to victory. Once again I can see the light.
Now my life is an open highway. Now my path is an open sea.
Now the world is an open doorway. There could be anything for me.
Since you came, it all seems so easy, since you showed me a way to live.
I never thought it would be so obvious. I'd forgotten I've so much to give.
For you and I, this may be all that happens, or we may find that we're meant to be.
But since we met I know my guardian angel, is finally looking out for me.
