Jim Reeves - Just Out Of Reach Lyrics






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 has erased
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.

[Spoken]
That old lonesome feeling all the time
I know you'll, you'll never be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep
I mean vows that we just couldn't keep
[Sang]
(Too far away from you and all your charms)
Just out of reach of my two empty arms...

  12. J.... A....

    31 july 1964, God toke his son back. When ever he talk or sing will be Gentleman Jim Reeves. To remember Patsy Cline for the same song.

  13. V.... S....

    I will never get tired hearing his voice regardless of wether he is singing gospel or secular songs. Such rich voice

  14. H.... C....

    I was on Active Duty in Japan when the word reached us about Jim's untimely death and needless to say that a whole score of the guys in my squadron were his fans and we drank until the next morning. And to this day I never get tired of listening to "Gentleman Jim Reeves" and I will continue to listening to his mellow voice!

  15. A.... N....

    Since my wife passed away, I have found comfort in his songs, so sad of his passing. Love his singing Ken Newton

    Rest in Peace Gentleman Jim. your songs will be always evergreen!

  32. R.... N....

    Another of those popular songs played over Radio Ceylon(Sri Lanka) back in the 1960's. We used to listen to the Jim Reeves Quarter those days, I believe on Wednesday evenings.

  33. B.... F....

    Growing up listening to the voice of Jim Reeves, regularly on radio and television was beyond compare.
    No matter what the song was, he sang it from the heart; like it were his own. Many a young boy, attempted his deep Bass voice and sang along to his live performances. All
    to no avail.
    Oddly enough, like many gifted Singers...he had the voice if an Angelic Choir Director, trying to stay one step ahead of the wiles of Satan. He lost.

  34. E.... �....

    Gentleman Jim will always be in my heart NO 1

  35. I.... M....

    I m more familiar with Bonnie Lou singing this lovely song I also love Perry Como singing it too.

  36. M.... ....

    Jim had a very nice voice with excellent diction and tone, but his sentimental, smooth, careful style did not convey feeling to me. Just sayin'

  37. a.... b....

    Fabulous song

  38. m.... s....

    Never tire of listening to Jim. My late husband Magnus proposed with the record Distant Drums💕💕

  39. N.... R....

    Heaven knows Michael ....Just out of reach of my two empty arms.......

  40. H.... A....

    Den bästa sångaren någonsin! Just perfekt. I ewer herd no better. My hero!

  41. B.... T....

  57. G.... M....

    Jim never sang a bad one.  One of a kind.  He was and still is one of the greats no matter what kind of music he sings.  A voice you recognize immediately.  Just close your eyes and drift away.  Holds you in ways you never imagined.

  58. s.... ....

    Jim Reeves and Faron Young are the two premier male voices of my lifetime. Jim's smoothness is incomparable. Thank you Jim for leaving us these treasures. RIP.

  65. I.... N....

    Gone bur never forgotten!

  66. A.... A....

    Wonderful.

  67. L.... J....

    This is from a CD I co-produced for Soundies/BMG in 1999. I had known that my friend, Mary Reeves, (whom I knew for 33 years from the time I was 13), had overdubbed some tracks that were sitting in the vault unreleased, because a German company -- BMG -- had taken over RCA and was oblivious to who Jim Reeves even was. I worked with BMG for over a year to track down this material and they were so clueless they kept sending me the versions that had already been released! I finally had to give them matrix numbers to make it easier for them to locate the material. Then I was invited to a final mixing session in New York. There were 13 songs that otherwise would have remained unheard by fans. I'm glad I was able to play a role in making them available.

    L.... J....

    Larry Jordan @

    Why does no one seem to know about a version of this song, "Just Out Of Reach Of My Two Empty Arms" by a guy who must have lived in Houston. His name was Larry G Hudson and even had the spoken break with old Willie kicking in. Lived in Houston in 1977. Please someone help if you can.

  71. B.... N....

    One of the smoothest voices ever. I love this sing

    A.... B....

    Yes you are right..two very talented people--- gone too soon.

  74. G.... M....

    It's been 51 years since Jim was taken from us, but for those of us who knew him he's
    never really gone.  A voice like no other.  As long as his music lives he will always be
    with us.

    Discovered Jim Reeves back in the mid 50s!  I own most of his vinyl and some DCs, but no matter!  His voice and music sound as if they were made just yesterday!  Not easy to forget!

  79. W.... M....

    Yes Jimmy Reeves have been gone many years, but we still love his music. I can't imagine who wouldn't!

    W.... M....

    That's true

    W.... M....

    Yes he does. I do listening his songs before going to bed.

    W.... M....

    Last count over 40 people don't

  80. i.... ....

    Gentleman Jim gone 50 years and His music is still the best!

  81. s.... ....

    here, here....

  82. L.... M....

    Damm those single engine aircraft--as dangerous then as today..

    L.... M....

    @Willis Vanderberg Willis, no disrespect sir, but this is neither the time nor the place. Listen to the music and enjoy one of the greatest voices God ever gave a man.....

    L.... M....

    +Willis Vanderberg Willis. If you must know.....Jim was flying his own plane. He had just bought it and was not familiar with flying by the instruments. Jim did not climb high enough to clear the storm. Now....Stop talking about "Sutpid" people! The End.

    L.... M....

    +Keith Reese
    Get your facts straight Keith, Jim did not own the plane, it was a rented aircraft from a flying service in Nashville. As far a climbing over the storm , if you go to his obituary you will find what little communication he had with the control tower he never mentioned anything about this. I have been flying since 1954 but I surely dont have all the answers but the facts put out by the National Transportation Board indicate pilot error is the major cause of all accidents. Getting into an instrument situation when you are not qualified puts you in the position of becoming just another passenger with no one flying the plane.This is in no way meant to slam Jim Reeves. I have met him many times and have been playing country music since I was twelve years old. What it amounts to is the pilot runs out of experience to cope with the situation, which is usually weather related. Have a great weekend

    L.... M....

    You are not as familiar with this situation as what you think. Check out...Jim Reeves The Untold Story. You will see that "Jim" was the last one on the mic just as it crashed. And, Yes, Jim had bought it....Duh!! You have a Great Weekend. It's not like Mary Reeves had not shared this story with me (in person) in 1986! Back to you Willis!

    L.... M....

    Like John Denver he was a better singer than a pilot. His confidence way outweighed his ability it seems

  83. C.... O....

    So beautiful.

  84. H.... S....

    Thank you for promoting the music of Jim Reeves on the internet. I have been a Jim Reeves fan all my life, in fact, his music inspired me inspired to sing. I was called the Dutch Jim Reeves. See my YouTube video; 'Hans Sommer, my emerald dream'. Let's keep the music of Jim alive for his voice brings us 'peace of mind' and harmony.

  85. H.... S....

    Thank you for promoting the music of Jim Reeves on the internet. I have been a Jim Reeves fan all my life. In fact the music of Jim Reeves inspired me, back then, to sing myself. I wrote some songs in the Jim Reeves tradition and recorded them at home. Here's one you will find on YouTube.
    My Emerald Dream, sung by Hans Sommer, inspired by Jim Reeves
     
    Let's keep the music of Jim alive for his voice gives 'peace of mind' and harmony. Isn't that what we need the most?

  86. R.... T....

    He was a good one.  I always have liked his singing since the 1950's.

  87. B.... H....

    He has always had the smoothest voice of anyone, no one can ever take his place, alltho Ricky Van Shelton would come the closest to be # 2, I think.

  88. i.... ....

    Great song by a Great Man who has brought so much joy to so many!
    Many thanks for the upload and to Gentleman Jim.

  89. P.... F....

    Hi Dominic. Well said. Nobody can touch your heart like Jim Reeves.

  90. P.... F....

    Am 71 years now. Been a fan of his since 1959 when I heard Adios Amigo the first time. Was priviliged to shake his hand when he was in Cape Town South Africa for the making of the film Kimberley Jim. Wrote him a letter and got a post card reply back which is one of my most worthwhile possessions. Long live his music..

  91. K.... E....

    Manden med den gyldnede stemme striks igen .

  92. D.... O....

    Can anyone ever touch your heart, make you cry or make you smile like JIM? He is a real Master Music and country song Legend and will remain so for ever with his songs. I simply love him and his songs...............................Domi

  93. b.... h....
