You Opened My Heart

[Verse 1]
You were barefoot in the kitchen
Flour on your cheek
Humming low
Spinning her around in her pajamas
Little feet on your toes
Then a tiny suit and crooked tie
Our boy laughing in your arms
I just stood there in the doorway
Watching love learning how to dance
[Chorus]
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart
Turned a quiet man
Into a work of art
With every slow step
In this living‑room light
You’re the reason I believe
That I got one thing right
Yeah
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart (oh, my heart)
[Verse 2]
There’s crayons on the coffee table
Cartoons humming down the hall
You two twirl with sleepy halos
Answering every midnight call
All the days I thought were empty
You filled them up with simple grace
Now I see forever clearly
Every line on your beautiful face
[Chorus]
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart
Turned a quiet man
Into a work of art
With every slow step
In this living‑room light
You’re the reason I believe
That I got one thing right
Yeah
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart (mm, my heart)
[Bridge]
One day they’ll be grown and gone
Chasing their own songs out in the dark
But I’ll still be here in this same old room
Holding the woman who lit the spark (yeah)
[Chorus]
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart
Took this wandering soul
Tore the doubt apart
With every slow step
In this quiet goodnight
You’re the love that keeps on teaching
What it means to hold life
Yeah
You opened my eyes
You opened my heart (oh, my heart)
