Just Out Of Reach

Perry Como Just Out Of Reach Lyrics
1.Let's Do It Again

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until i say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
An' i don't want the feelin' to end!

We glide on a magic carpet ride
All around us stars collide
And there's poetry inside my head
It seems i can hear some haunting theme
Yet there's something in your scheme
That's too real to be a dream instead!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until i say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
An' i don't want the feelin' to end!

The sound all around begins to pound
An' i know we're homeward bound
To a world we've often found before
We climb into space an' out of time
Then the bells begin to chime
We're in rhythm and in rhyme, once more!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop until i say when
'cause your kisses are sweet
An' i don't want the feelin' to end!

Hey! . . . let's do it again an' again!
If you will count up to ten,
That'll give me a chance to get my breath back
Then . . . we'll do it again an' again!

Don't stop . . . < to fade >


2.Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye

Kiss me each morning for a million years,
Hold me each evening by your side,
Tell me you love me, for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!

Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss,
Soften my dreams with a sigh,
After you've loved me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!

If you must go, i won't grieve,
If you just wait a lifetime before you leave . . .
If you must go, i won't say no,
Just so we can say that we tried,
Tell me you love me for a million years,
Then if it don't work out, then if it don't work out,
Then you can tell me goodbye!

Then you can tell me goodbye . . .


3.Here, There And Everywhere

( to lead a better life,
I need my love to be here . . . )

Here . . . making each day of the year,
Changing my life with a wave of her hand,
Nobody can deny that there's something there . . .

There . . . running my hands through her hair,
Both of us thinking how good it can be,
Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there . . .

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me i know i need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes
And hoping i'm always there . . .

< instrumental break >

. . . each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes
And hoping i'm always there . . .

. . . to be there, and everywhere,
Here, there and everywhere!


4.Let It Be Love

If time changes everything but one, maybe,
Let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( let it be
love! )
And if we cherish anything that we've done, baby,
Let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( ooh, ooh,
ooh! )

And if we're ever left with just one thing to say,
If all we possess is just one thing someday
If i ever take a thing from you, baby,
Let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love ( ooh, ooh,
ooh! )

And if we're ever left with just one thing to say,
If all we possess is just one thing someday
If i ever take a thing from you, baby,
Let it be love ( let it be love! ) let it be love.


5.The Grass Keeps Right On Growin'

The grass keeps right on growin'
The sun goes right on shinin'
There are apples on the apple tree
Ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds still sing an'
Everything's the same except for me . . .

Everything's the same except for me . . .
Because, you're gone . . .
I tell myself you're really gone
How can it be, but there it is,
I'm alone once again . . .

An' life goes on
Without your smile i knew so well
The secrets that we used to tell
Yesterday way back when?

And . . . the grass keeps right on growin'
The sun goes right on shinin'
The skies are blue the way they used to be
Ain't life a funny thing, kids play tag an' church bells ring
an'
Everything's the same except for me . . .

Everything's the same except for me . . .
'cause, you're not there . . .
I look for you but you're not there
I hear your voice , it's just a trick
That my mind wants to play . . .
How can this world keep turnin' like it used to do?
There's no more world, there's no more you,
No more words left to say . . .

And . . . the grass keeps right on growin'
The sun goes right on shinin'
There are apples on the apple tree
Ain't life a funny thing, flowers bloom an' birds that sing an'
Everything the same except for me . . .

. . . everything's the same except for me . . .


6.Just Out Of Reach

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 not erase,
And i awake an' find you gone,
I'm so blue and all alone!

So far away from lips
So sweet an' warm,
Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms!

That lonesome feelin' all the time,
Knowin' you cannot be mine,
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep,
Vows that we could never keep!

Too far away from lips
So sweet an' warm,
Just out of reach
Of my two empty arms!


7.Let Me Call You Baby Tonight

Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( un ha! un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( un ha! un
ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight,
Oh i need you so much an' now that i have found you
I wanna feel my arms around you
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight!

Here i sit at a table all alone,
Watchin' you the way i have, so many times before,
An' tonight, just like me, you're lonely too
An' the sadness that you're showin'
Makes me want you even more!

So, won't you . . .

Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( un ha! un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( un ha! un
ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight,
Oh i need you so much an' now that i have found you
I wanna feel my arms around you
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight!

Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight ( un ha! un ha! )
Let . . . me . . . hold you 'till the mornin' light ( un ha! un
ha! )
Let . . . me . . . call you baby tonight . . . < to fade >


8.Loving Her Was Easier

( than anything i'll ever do again )

( lovin' her was easier than anything i'll ever do again . . . )

I have seen the morning burning golden
On the mountain in the sky . . .
Achin' with the feeling of the freedom
Of an eagle when she flies . . .

Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul
As i lay dyin' . . .
Healing as the colours in the sunshine
And the shadows of her eyes . . .

Waking in the morning to the feeling of her fingers
On my skin . . .
Wiping out the traces of the people
And the places that i've been . . .

Teaching me that yesterday was something
That i never thought of tryin' . . .
Talkin' of tomorrow and the money love and time
We had to spend . . .

Lovin' her was easier
Than anything i'll ever do again . . .

Comin' close together with a feelin' that i'd never known
before,
In my time . . .
She ain't ashamed to be a woman
Or afraid to be a friend . . .

I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door
In my mind . . .
But dreamin' was as easy as believing
It was never gonna end . . .

And lovin' her was easier
Than anything i'll ever do again . . .

Hmm . . .


9.Make Love To Life

Make love to live, let life make love to you,
Make love to life an' no matter what you do
Don't hold back, an' don't you try to hide,
Make love to life, make love to life!

A babblin' hobo poet sang on the street one day,
Some people stopped an' smiled, some hurried on their way,
But as for me, if it's free, lord knows i'll sit thru anything,
So i stopped an' listened when the man began to sing . . .

. . . he said:

Make love to live, let life make love to you,
Make love to life an' no matter what you do
Now, don't you hold back, don't you try to hide,
Make love to life, make love to life!

An' in a jingle jangle hassle that we come upon each day,
It's nice to see somebody with something good to say,
The music makes me feel good, the words come easily,
Everybody join in an' sing along with me . . .

Make love to live, let life make love to you,
Make love to life an' no matter what you do
Don't you hold back, an' don't you try to hide,
Make love to life, make love to life!

Make love to live, let life make love to you,
Make love to life . . . < to fade >


10.Love Put A Song In My Heart

Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
Put a song in my heart!
Never have i heard such beautiful music before.

Yes . . . your love put a song, put a song,
Put a song in my heart!

< instrumental break >

The meaning of life i find ( life i find! )
Is you in my heart an' mind ( heart an' mind! )
The meaning that only comes when two hearts beat as one!

Once you've given 'love' your hand ( 'love' your hand! )
An' followed thru paradise the way that we have done!

'cause . . . your love put a song, put a song,
Put a song in my heart!
Never have i heard such beautiful music before.
