out of reach of my two empty arms
love that runs away from me
dreams that just won’t let me be
blues that keeps on bothering me
chains that just won’t set me free
too far away from you and all your charms
just out of reach of my two empty arms
each night in dreams i see your face
memories time cannot erase
and i awake and find you gone
and i’m so blue and all alone
so far away from you so sweet and warm
just out of reach of my two empty arms
that lonesome feeling all the time
knowing that you could not be mine
dreams that hurt me in my sleep
vows that we could never keep
so far away from you and all your charms
just out of reach of my two empty arms
