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 empty 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 open arms

That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time
Knowing you cannot be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we just could never keep

Too far away from lips so sweeet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms
