| 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
|
| But that was as close as I came.
|
| My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
|
| Yeilding beneath my command
|
| I held you right 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 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 you right on the tips of my fingers
|
| But I let it slip right through my hands.
|
| Yes, I let it slip right through my hands… |
