Tip of my fingers

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
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 right 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.

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...
