(Virgil F. Stewart)

Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me and 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 mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I'll 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.

That lonesome feeling all the time knowing that you can't 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...
