Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms)
Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones
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 feeling 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 hurtin' 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
