The Tips of My Fingers

I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I held your love 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 held you right on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right thru my hands.

Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands.



Somebody took you when I wasn't looking

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.

To the love hidden deep in your heart.

To the love hidden deep in your heart.



I held your love on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right thru my hands.

Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands.



I held your love on the tips of my fingers...
