Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering 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 mem'ries time cannot erase

Then 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

If you need me I'll be near I'll be faithful never fear
I'll think of you both night and day so close and yet so far away
I pray the Lord to keep you from all harm just out of reach of my two open arms

Faron Young

Faron Young (February 25, 1932 – December 10, 1996) was an American country music singer and songwriter from the early 1950s into the mid-1980s and one of its most successful and colorful stars. Hits including "If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" and "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young" marked him as a honky-tonk singer in sound and personal style; and his chart-topping singles "Hello Walls" and "It's Four in the Morning" showed his versatility as a vocalist. Known as the Hillbilly Heartthrob, and following a movie role, the Young Sheriff, Young's singles reliably charted for more than 30 years. He committed suicide in 1996. Young is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. more »
