Just Out of Reach
Longing in Melody: Brenda Lee's Heartfelt Journey of Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Love that runs away from me,
Love escapes or eludes me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Unfulfilled aspirations haunt me
Blues that keep on bothering me,
Feeling of sadness or melancholy that persists
Chains that just won't set me free
Feeling restrained or held back
Too far away from you and all your charms
Separated from the allure and attractiveness of someone special
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Unable to embrace or hold someone dear
Each night in dreams I see your face,
Recurrence of seeing the beloved's image in dreams
The moonbeams time cannot erase
Memories or impressions that persist despite time passing
Then I awake and find you gone,
Waking up to the absence of the beloved
Then I'm so blue and all alone
Feeling sad and solitary
So far away from you, so sweet and warm
Emotionally distanced from the warmth and comfort of the beloved
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Unable to physically reach and hold the beloved
Each night in dreams I see your face,
Recurring dreams featuring the beloved's face
The moonbeams time cannot erase
Indelible memories that persist despite time passing
Then I awake and I find you gone,
Waking up to the absence of the beloved
You've made me blue and all alone
Feeling saddened and isolated
So far away from you, so sweet and warm.
Being emotionally distant from the comforting presence of the beloved
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Unable to physically embrace or hold the beloved
