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
Yieldin' 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 lookin'
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 lookin'
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
at the tips of my fingers
