The Tips of My Fingers

I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I held your love on the tips of my fingers

But that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips

Yielding beneath my command

I held you right on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands

Yes I let you slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking

I should have known from the start

It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers

To the love hidden deep in your heart

To the love hidden deep in your heart

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking

I should have known from the start

It's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers

To the love hidden deep in your heart

To the love hidden deep in your heart

I held your love on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands

Yes I let you slip right through my hands

I held your love on the tips of my fingers
