Sledge, Percy - Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Empty Arms) Lyrics






(Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms)

Love that runs away from me
Dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keeps on bothering me
Chains that just won't set me free

Too far away from you
And all your charm
Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms

Each night in dreams
I see your face
Memories time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you're gone
Then I'm so blue and all alone

So far away from you
So sweet and warm
Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms

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

So far away from you
And all your charm
Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms
(Empty arms)

    Best voice of motown ever so pure so unique and so refreshing and yes im still here in 2019 almost 2020

    o.... ....

    Agreed! PS was arguably the best **natural tenor soul balladeer** (no falsetto) of all time. Not taking anything away from the legendary Motown sound -but that's Muscle Shoals studio house band; The Swampers. They worked with most of the greats of the 50s, 60s & 70s (including Percy) who recorded under the Atlantic label. Motown came along after most had already signed with Atlantic.

    He was signed to Atlantic Records not Motown Records

    the 78 thumbs down.. are they "beautiful music" Zombies...this is even better than Patsy Cline and as an avid country music fan I never ever thought I would make a statement like that

    j.... m....

    @john marlog I think some gave it the thumbs down because they prefered the original that came out in the 60's.

    Percy, merci d'avoir enchanté le monde entier depuis des décennies. RIP Percy
