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
