Lyrics
EMPTY ARMS
Words by Pamala A. Crocker
Music by Mark S. Crocker
Vs 1 Out in the front on
the old porch swing
With the sky so full
of stars that shine;
How I long to hear the
telephone ring;
Here I sit just
wastin' my time.
Now my eyes can't see
so clearly
Because the tears
begin to fall;
It's only you my heart
loves dearly
As I wait for you to
call.
CH Oh your lips were so
warm.
Your kisses had charm.
Tell me why, please
tell me why,
Why do I have empty
arms?
Vs 2 There's a soft gentle
wind that is blowing
As I gaze into the
sky.
All the fire flies--
they are glowing,
But my heart can only
cry.
Now my eyes are red
and swollen
'Cause I've cried and
I've cried and
cried;
For I know my love was
stolen,
Though in my heart I
know I truly tried.
CH Oh your lips were so
warm.
Your kisses had charm.
Tell me why, please
tell me why,
Why do I have empty
arms?
BR With all this pain,
I can't let go;
I have this endless
ache.
Tell me why--I need to
know;
My heart will surely
break.
CH Oh your lips were so
warm.
Your kisses had charm.
Tell me why, please
tell me why,
Why do I have empty
arms?
Oh your lips were so
warm.
Your kisses had charm.
Tell me why, please
tell me why,
Why do I have empty
arms?
