Days filled with joy and days filled with sorrow I don't know just what to do Am I happy today, am I lonely tomorrow Everything depends on you I've been waiting for the angels to knock on my door I've been hopin' that everything could be like before Open your heart and tell me what's wrong Why can't you talk like you used to do before I don't know if I'm weak, I don't know if I'm strong Hey girl, I can't cope anymore I've been waiting... Open your heart, let me hear you Make up your mind, I want to hear you call Open your heart, want to come near you Make up your mind, oh girl, before I fall Maybe the sun will continue to shine Maybe the rain will continue to fall Maybe you want to leave me behind Maybe you'll change and give me a call
