just out of reach of my two empty arms

Percy Sledge

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
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

Oh honey, you know, what lonesome feeling that I have all the time
It s just knowing that I know you ll never be mine
And the dreams that always keeps on hurtin me in my sleep
I know they re only vows that you and I could never keep

Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
