Lyrics
Love that runs away from me
Love that is elusive and difficult to maintain.
Dreams that just won't let me be
Dreams that persistently disturb the singer.
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Feelings of sadness or melancholy, represented by the blues.
Chains that just won't set me free
Struggles or emotional bonds that are hard to break.
Too far away from you and all your charms
Being separated from someone special and their attractive qualities.
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Expressing the inability to embrace or hold the person due to distance or circumstances.
Each night in dreams I see your face
Seeing the loved one's face in dreams, suggesting a strong emotional connection.
Memories time cannot erase
Memories that persist and cannot be erased by time.
Then I awake and find you gone
Waking up to the reality of the loved one's absence.
I'm so blue and all alone
Feeling sad and lonely when realizing the loved one is no longer present.
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Being physically distant from the warmth of the loved one's lips.
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Reiterating the theme of being unable to embrace the loved one.
That lonesome feeling all the time
A persistent feeling of loneliness throughout the singer's life.
Knowing you cannot be mine
Understanding that the loved one cannot be possessed or claimed.
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Dreams causing emotional pain during sleep.
Vows that we just could never keep
Unfulfilled promises or commitments in the relationship.
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Being physically distant from the warmth of the loved one's lips (repeated theme).
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Reiterating the idea of being unable to embrace the loved one (repeated theme).
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Repeating the theme of being just out of reach and unable to hold the loved one.
