The Swan
Written by V.F. Stewart
(As recorded by Jim Reeves Oct. 12, 1962)
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 can't erase
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 ol' lonesome feelin' all the time
I know you'll

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 can't erase
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:

Nothing But Sweet Lies
I watched as he held her and kissed her goodnight
Heard every word as I stood out of sight
Just like a fool everything he believed
Nothin' but sweet lies she once told to me
Foolhearted boy, should I tell what I know
Just how she'll win love and then let it go
Too much in love and too far gone to see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
Once he starts fallin' he won't wanna stop
She'll build him up high and then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
Once he starts fallin' he won't wanna stop
She'll build him up high and then let him drop
Down with the others who never could see
It's only sweet lies she once told to me
