Just Out Of Reach
Posey Sandy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on both'rin' me
Chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Each night in dreams I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you've gone
I'm so blue, I'm all alone
So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms

(That lonesome feeling all the time)
(Knowing you cannot be mine)
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Vows that we could never keep




Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Just out of reach of my two open arms

Despite his best efforts, he can't seem to shake the feelings of heartbreak and despair.

In his dreams, he is able to see her face and experience the warmth of her lips, but when he awakens, he is alone once again.
