Why they can´t be posted here? Lyrics for Unbreakable can be read in that thread so why not lyrics for TOA?

You know, I was thinking the same thing.

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

Did you even love the one you said you loved, that's right
Did you make a tender difference in somebody else's life?
Tell me, is a song you can count on when you need a friend?
Can you see I need a friend...

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

Can you lean me your skin?
Walk in your own shoes!
You can't win if you don't know how to lose
Crawl, fall...
Try to get out of the learner, fly!

These open arms will wait for you
These open arms can pull us through
Between what's left and left to do
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms
These open arms will wait for you

I'm new here so I didn't want to do something that is not allowed. I sent a PM to everyone who asked them. Now the lyrics are posted

This is my version so maybe there's some mistakes. As I wrote to everyone it's not like Jon really articulate so I did my best.

Well, it is an improvement over all of the Bounce ballads. But that isn't saying much. Lyrically it is better than all about lovin' (god, kill me) you, but that doesn't mean anything as that song was the devil. But that doesn't mean the verses (the first especially) aren't wholly terrible and mumbled. Richie is a guitarist, not a rythm guitar. It's annoying to here him be misused and overlooked and bored. And the bridge doesn't really fit into the song at all. There is no guitar solo.

And even though the chorus is missing something, it is great when it hits and the lyrics there aren't terrible.

give it a 7-7.5

Mistake here...it's "Can you lend me your skin"

I definitely needed to hear a guitar solo and maybe that may have changed my opinion on this song which overall isn't too bad, but something doesn't quite seem right to me about it. Maybe a few more listens then I'll be able to put my finger on it.

TOA is a perfect ballad!!! I love it!!! It is like 'I am', has something I can't
express...it's pure Bon Jovi, I can't wait till September...

Jon hasn't any other tittle for the songs... We have two "Open All Night", one "These Arms Are Open All Night" and now "These Open Arms".

Btw, I like the song, but thanx God that won't be in the album.

These Open Arms!
