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
