Just Out of Reach

(V.F. Stewart)



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

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.



--- Instrumental ---



If you need me, I'll be near

I'll be faithful, never fear

I'll think of you both night and day

So close and yet so far away.



I pray the Lord to keep you from all harm

Just out of reach of my two open arms...
