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 sweetness

Yielding beneath my command

I held you right on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands

Yes I let you slip right through 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 my heart

I held you love on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands

Yes I let you slip right through hands

I held your love on the tips of my fingers
