I reached out my arms
and I touched you with soft words
I whispered your name
I held you right on the tip of my fingers
but that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
yeelding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
but I let it slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
and I should have known from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart to the love
hidden deep in your heart
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hands
but I let it slip right through my hands
