Love that runs away from me, dreams that just won't let me be

Blues that keep on both'ring me, change that just won't set me free

Too far away from you and all your charms, just out of reach of my two open arms

Each night in dreams I see your face, mem'ries time cannot erase

Then I'd 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 open arms

Chorus: That lonesome feeling over 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 open arms
