Tip of My Fingers

(Bill Anderson)



I reached out my hand and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I had you right on the tip 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 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

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