Patsy Cline Lyrics

Album: Best Of Patsy Cline

Just A Closer Walk With Thee Lyrics

Written by V.F. Stewart 


(As recorded by Jim Reeves Oct. 12, 1962) 

Love that runs away from me

Dreams that just won't let me be

Blues that keep on botherin' 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 empty arms

Each night in dreams I see your face

Memories time can't erase

I awake and find you gone

I'm so blue and all alone

So far away from lips so sweet and warm

Just out of reach of my two empty arms

Spoken:

That ol' lonesome feelin' all the time

I know you'll never be mine

Dreams that hurt me in my sleep

I mean vows that we just couldn't keep

Too far away from you and all your charms

Just out of reach of my two empty arms
