i reached out my arms and i touched you
with soft words i whispered your name
i had your love on the tips of my fingers
oh 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
that 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
i had your love on the tips of my fingers
but i let you slip right through my hands
yes i let you slip right through my hands
