Just Out of Reach
Yearning Melodies: Patsy Cline's Unreachable Love Tale
Lyrics
Love that runs away from me
Expresses the feeling of love slipping away.
Dreams that just won't let me be
Describes persistent dreams that disturb the person.
Blues that keep on botherin' me
Refers to ongoing sadness or troubles (blues).
Chains that just won't set me free
Symbolizes being held back or restrained by certain circumstances.
Too far away from you and all your charms
Highlights the distance from the loved one and their appealing qualities.
Just out of reach of my two empty arms
Expresses the agony of being just out of reach of the person's embrace.
Each night in dreams I see your face
Describes seeing the loved one's face in dreams every night.
Memories time cannot erase
Reflects on memories that time cannot erase.
Then I awake and find you gone
Conveys the disappointment of waking up and finding the loved one gone.
I'm so blue and all alone
Expresses the sadness and loneliness experienced after waking up.
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Describes the yearning for the warmth of the loved one's lips.
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Reiterates the pain of being just out of reach of the open arms.
That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time
Conveys a constant feeling of loneliness.
Knowing you cannot be mine
Acknowledges the impossibility of having the loved one.
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Describes dreams causing emotional distress during sleep.
Vows that we just could never keep
Refers to promises or commitments that could not be kept.
Too far away from lips so sweeet and warm
Reiterates the distance from the warmth of the loved one's lips.
Just out of reach of my two open arms
Expresses the continued frustration of being just out of reach.
