I reached out my arms, and I touched you With soft words I whispered your name I held you right on the tips of my fingers Although that was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips Yielding beneath my command I held you long 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 I should have known from the start That is 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 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
