Open Up My Window Lyrics

Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer

Every night
I open up my window
Open up my window
And let your love come in

Every night that I'm away from you
This old bed seems way too big
And my dreams so small
Goin' through the motions 
As I stare out from my room
I begin to realize
That we're sharin' the same moon

Lying here hugging my pillow in the dark
Dreaming of your comfort
Fightin' the lonely in my heart
And I thought I felt you touch me
In that old familiar way
When the wind came through the curtains
And I heard it call your name

Ooh the time goes draggin' by
Send my love across the sky
Maybe it's all that I can do
Baby until I'll be with you

I missed you girl more than you'll ever know
I kept a little vigil by my window
It's funny but it's true
Darlin' I did the same for you
Now no matter where we are
We can wish upon that star
