Tip Of My Fingers

(Bill Anderson)



I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I had your love on the tip of my fingers

But that was as close as I came.



My eyes held a vision of sweet lips

Yielding beneath my command

I had your love on the tip of my fingers

But I let it slip right through my hand

But I let it slip right through my hand.



Somebody took you when I wasn't looking

I should've known right from the start

It's a long, long way from the tip of my finger

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've known right from the start

It's a long, long way from the tip of my finger

To the love hidden deep in your heart.

To the love hidden deep in your heart...
