Crazy Arms
Cline Patsy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the storm brewing in this heart of mine
This is not pleasure dream; I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now; you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind no soon to another you will be with
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind no soon to another you will be with
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

The singer pleads with her former lover to take away all of the dreams and love she had for them, acknowledging that she must find a way to move on with her life. However, the pain of losing this person still lingers, and she can't help but feel lonely all the time as she watches them move on with someone new.
This song speaks to a universal experience of heartbreak and unrequited love. It reminds us that even when we know we need to let go and move on, the pain and loneliness can still linger.

Blue is not the word for the way that I feel
And the storm's brewing in this heart of mine
This is no crazy dream I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I am so lonely all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
But my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time
