Just out of reach of my two open arms

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 open arms

Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you gone then 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

[ sax ]
I pray the Lord to keep you from all harm
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Just out of reach of my two open arms
