Just Out of Reach

Jim Reeves · The Unreleased Hits of Jim Reeves [2000]

(V.F. Stewart)



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 has erased

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.



--- Instrumental ---



(Spoken)

That old lonesome feeling all the time

I know you'll, you'll never be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep

I mean vows that we just couldn't keep

(Sang)

(Too far away from you and all your charms)

Just out of reach of my two empty arms...
