Now blue ain’t the word
For the way that I feel
And a storm’s 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 sayin’ 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
So please take the treasured dreams
I had for you and me
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 sayin’ 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
