Judy Collins Open The Door lyrics

Sometimes I remember the old days
When the world was filled with sorrow
You might have thought I was livin'
But I was all alone

In my heart the rain was fallin'
The wind blew, the night was callin'
Come back, come back
I'm all you've ever known

Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
You're like a rainbow
Comin' around the bend

And when I see you happy
Well, it sets my heart free
I'd like to be as good a friend to you
As you are to me

There were friends who could always see me
Through the haze their smiles would greet me
Sayin' okay, sayin' good-bye
Sayin' hello

Soon I knew what I was after
Was life and love, tears and laughter
Hello, my good friend, hello my darlin'
What do you know?

Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you my friend

You're like a rainbow
Comin' around the bend

And when I see you happy
Well, it sets my heart free
I'd like to be as good a friend to you
As you are to me

I used to think it was only me
Feelin' alone and not feelin' free
To be alive, to be a friend

Now I know we all have stormy weather
The sun shines through when we're together
I'll be your friend right through to the end

Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
You're like a rainbow
Comin' around the bend

And when I see you happy
Well, it sets my heart free
I'd like to be as good a friend to you
As you are to me

I'd like to be as good a friend to you
As you are to me, you are to me
