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 lips so sweet and warm
 Just out of reach of my two empty arms
