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
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
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
