Crazy Arms
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Now blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
And the storms brewing in this heart of mine.
This ain't no crazy dream, I know that it's real,
You're someone else's love now, you're not mine.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine.
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed,
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
Please take the treasured dreams I had for you and me
And take all the love I thought was mine.
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new,
But now I'm so lonely all the time.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine.
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed,
And that's why I'm lonely all the time.
