Lyrics:

The one that I love just walked right out on me
The blues just stepped in to keep me company
It's like a crazy dream I just don't understand
The way I let my future slip right through my hand
Now I've got two empty arms with no one to hold
Two lonely lips that are fast growing cold
A heart with no sweethearts to love and keep it warm
Oh please come back to me and my two empty arms
[ fiddle - steel ]
It hurts to know I've lost the one I still adore
I'll never hear my name on her lips anymore
I'll always see her eyes when they smile at someone new
It's my memories my empty arms are clinging to
Now I've got two empty arms...
