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
