I reached out my hand and I touched you with soft words I whispered your name I had you right on the tip of my fingers but that was as close as I came My eyes had a vision of sweet lips yeelding 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 tip 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 it slip right through my hands yes I let it slip right through my hands
