(As recorded by Jim Reeves Oct. 12, 1962)



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 open 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



That lonesome feelin' 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 open arms
