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 can not erase

And I awake an' find you gone

I'm so blue and all alone



So far away from lips

So sweet an' warm

Just out of reach

Of my two empty arms



That lonesome feelin' all the time

Knowin' you cannot be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep

Vows that we could never keep



Too far away from lips

So sweet an' warm

Just out of reach

Of my two empty arms
