Just Out of Reach
Sandy Posey Lyrics

Love that runs away from me
The feeling of love I have always seems to escape me and fade away.

Dreams that just won't let me be
My mind always seems to be filled with thoughts of you, and the dreams I have of you won't leave me alone.

Blues that keep on both'rin' me
I always feel unhappy and down, and this constant sadness just won't go away.

Chains that just won't set me free
I feel trapped in my sadness and can't seem to escape it no matter how hard I try.

Too far away from you and all your charms
You are not within my reach, and I'm missing everything about you, which makes me feel even worse.

Just out of reach of my two open arms
Despite how much I want to hold you in my arms, I can't because you're not here, and it hurts me deeply.

Each night in dreams I see your face
Even in my dreams, I can't stop thinking of you, and I see your face every night.

Memories time cannot erase
The memories of us together are so strong that time can't erase them.

Then I awake and find you've gone
When I wake up, I realize that you're not really with me, and that's hard to accept.

I'm so blue, I'm all alone
I feel so sad and lonely without you, and it's a feeling that never seems to go away.

So far away from lips so sweet and warm
Being away from your sweet and warm lips is unbearable for me, and it's one of the hardest parts of being separated from you.

Just out of reach of my two open arms
Even though I'm yearning for you, I can't have you, and it leaves me feeling empty and alone.

(That lonesome feeling all the time)
I'm feeling lonely and sad all the time, and it's not something I can escape from.

(Knowing you cannot be mine)
It's painful to accept that I can't have you in my life, and it's something that's always on my mind.

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
Even in my dreams, I can't escape the pain and heartache I feel without you, and it's a hurt that never goes away.

Vows that we could never keep
Despite our promises to each other, we couldn't make it work, and we had to part ways, which is something I regret.

Too far away from lips so sweet and warm
Being separated from you is just too difficult because I miss your embrace and your loving touch, and it feels like a part of me is missing without you.

Just out of reach of my two open arms
Even though I'm reaching out for you, you're out of my grasp, and it feels like there's nothing I can do to make the pain go away.
