With Arms Wide Open

Well I just heard the news today /It seems my life is going to change /I closed my eyes,/begin to pray /Then tears of joy stream down my face

            "Jess, I'm pregnant".  The words stood out in my mind, fresh but already worn from me mulling them over.

With arms wide open /Under the sunlight /Welcome to this place /I'll show you everything/With arms wide open

            What was I going to do?  I knew that she was able to have this child, but I didn't know if I was.  What if I'm as much of a screw-up as my dad was?  I can't do that to Rory.  She means everything to me.

Well I don't know if I'm ready /To be the man I have to be /I'll take a breath, take her by my side/We stand in awe, we've created life

            And Dean…  What were we going to do about Dean?  She was supposed to be with him, but she'd cheated on him.  Just for that one night.  The night that changed all of their lives.

With arms wide open /Under the sunlight /Welcome to this place /I'll show you everything/With arms wide open

            Has she told Lorelei?  Oh, Lorelei…  You're going to want to kill me now…  I'd totally understand if you castrated me…  I'm such an idiot!

Now everything has changed

What are we going to do?

I'll show you love/I'll show you everything /With arms wide open

            I guess we could get married…  Yeah.  I'll ask her to marry me.


If I had just one wish /Only one demand /I hope he's not like me /I hope he understands/That he can take this life /And hold it by the hand

            We can do this.  I'll ask Lorelei if Rory is breaking up with Dean.  If she is, I'll ask her. 

And he can greet the world

            The day after tomorrow, in the bookstore. 

With arms wide open...

            We can do this.
