Love that runs away from me


Dreams that just won't let me be

Blues that keep on botherin' 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

Memories time cannot erase


Then I awake 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




That lonesome feelin' 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
