Just Out of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms) - Percy Sledge

(Just out of reach

Of my two empty arms)

Love that runs away from me Dreams that just won’t let me be Blues that keeps on bothering me Chains that just won’t set me free

Too far away from you

And all your charm

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’re gone

Then I’m so blue and all alone

So far away from you

So sweet and warm

Just out of reach

Of my two empty arms

That lonesome feeling all the time

Knowing you could not be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep

Vows that we could never, never keep

So far away from you

And all your charm

Just out of reach

Of my two empty arms

(Empty arms)
