"The Tip Of My Fingers" lyrics

The Tip Of My Fingers

I reached out my arms
And I touched you
With soft words
I whispered your name
I held you right
On the tip 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 tip 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 tip of my fingers
To the love
Hidden deep in your heart
To the love
Hidden deep in your heart
