Tips Of My Fingers

(I had you right on
The tips of my fingers)

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
Right 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 had 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
