Tip of My Fingers

(Bill Anderson)



I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I held you right on the tips of my fingers

But that was as close as I came.



My eyes had a vision of sweet lips

Yeilding beneath my command

I held you right 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

I should have known from the start

That 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 you right on the tips of my fingers

But I let it slip right through my hands.

Yes, I let it slip right through my hands...
