|
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 can't erase |
|
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 |
|
Spoken: |
|
That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time |
|
I know you'll never be mine |
|
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep |
|
I mean vows that we just couldn't keep |
|
Too far away from you and all your charms |
|
Just out of reach of my two empty arms |
