i reached out my arms and i touched you
with soft words i whispered your name
i held you right on the tip of my fingers
but that was as close as i came
my eyes had 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
