I reached out my arms and I touched you   With soft words I whispered your name   I had you right 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 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
