Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me
Chains that just won't set me free
To far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Each night I dream I see your face
Memories that time cannot erase
Then I wake and find you gone
I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
(Just out of reach)

If you need me I'll be near
I'll be faithful never fear
I'll be with you both night and day
So close and yet so far away
I pray the lord to keep you from all harm
When your just out of reach of my two empty arms

That lonesome feeling all the time
Knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams me that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep
To far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Just out of reach of my two empty arms
