Blue ain't the word for the way that I feel
There's a storm brewing in this heart of mine
Someday your crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonesome all the time

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
Someone else's darling, you're not mine (note 1)
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonesome all the time

Take all those crazy dreams I had for you baby
The love I once thought was mine
This ain't no crazy dream, I know it's real
You're someone else's darling, you're not mine

Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
My yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
Someday these crazy arms will hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonesome all the time
But now I'm so lonesome all the time

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

Chorus
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
And take all the love I thought was mine
Someday my crazy arms may hold somebody new
But now I'm so lonesome I could cry

[chorus]
