Tip Of My Fingers

Jean Shepard · Greatest Hits [1976]

I reached out my arms and I touched you



With soft words I whispered your name



I had you right 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 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 tips of my fingers



To the love hidden deep in your heart



To the love hidden deep in your heart
