Why are you still crying
Your pain is now through
Please forget those teardrops
Let me take them from you
The love you are blessed with
This world’s waiting for
So let out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

It’s time we start smiling
What else should we do
With only this short time
I know to be here with you
And the tales you have taught me
From the things that you saw
Makes me want out your heart, please, please
From behind that locked door

And wherever my love goes
If I’m rich or I’m poor
Please let out my heart, please, please
From behind that locked door
From behind that locked door
