[Verse 1] This hotel just makes me lonesome without you There is marble and a fireplace and a panoramic view I know that you were serious when you said that we were through This hotel just makes me lonesome without you I was thinking about the man I thought I'd be He had confidence as I recall, footlights dancing at his feet Sometimes what we sign up for, ain't exactly what it seems But I was thinking about the man I thought I'd be [Chorus] And I guess some how I got a bit distracted You deserve what I had promised from the start And I still shudder at the memory of my failures and mistakes Hey so what, it opened up my heart
But hey so what, it opened up my heart [Verse 2] Now you've got your amazing graces and your kids I've got aspens and a partial list of things I almost did And I never will forget the way we took down NYC But I'm not sure that memory's big enough for me [Chorus] And I guess some how I got a bit distracted You deserve what I had promised from the start And I still shudder at the memory of my failures and mistakes But hey so what, it opened up my heart Hey so what, it opened up my heart [Outro] Hey so what, it opened up my heart Hey so what, it opened up my heart Hey so what, I've got an open heart
