Just Out of Reach

Mickey Gilley · Stand By Me [2011]

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

Memories 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.



Oh honey, you know what lonesome feelings that I have all the time

It's just knowing that I know you'll never be mine

And the dreams that always keeps on hurting me in my sleep

I know they're only vows that you and I could never keep.



Too far away from lips, so sweet and warm

Just out of reach of my two empty arms.



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