Just Out of Reach

(Virgil F. Stewart)



Love that runs away from me

Dreams that just won't let me be

Blues that keep on bothering 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

Mem'ries 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 empty arms.



That lonesome feeling all the time

Knowing you cannot be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep

Vows that we could never keep

Too far away from you and all your charms

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