I reached out my arms and I touched you   With soft words, I whispered your name   I held 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 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      Somebody took you when I wasn't looking   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      I held 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      I held your love on the tips of my fingers
