The one that I love just walk right out on me

The blues just stepped in to keep me company

It's like a crazy breeze I just don't understand

The way I let my future slip right through my hand

Now I've got two empty arms with no one to hold

Two lovely lips that are fast growing cold

A heart with no sweethearts to love and keep it warm

Oh please come back to me and my two empty arms

[ steel ]

It hurts to know I've lost the one I still adore

I'll never hear my name on his lips anymore

I'll only see his eyes when they smile at someone new

For in the memories my empty arms are clinging to

Now I've got two empty arms...

Oh please come back to me and my two empty arms
