Love that runs away from me
dreams that just won't let me be
blues that keep on both'rin' 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 open arms
Each night in dreams i see your face
mem'ries time cannot erase
then i awake and find you've gone
i'm so blue, i'm all alone
so far away from lips so sweet and warm
just out of reach of my two open arms
(that lonesome feeling all the time)
(knowing you cannot be mine)
dreams that hurt me in my sleep
vows that we could never keep
too far away from lips so sweet and warm
just out of reach of my two open arms
