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
So far away from lips so sweet and warm just out of reach of my two empty arms
