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 I came



My eyes had a

Vision of sweet lips

Yielding beneath

My command



I held 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



I held your love on

The tip of my fingers

But I let it slip right

Through my hands

Yes, I let it slip right

Through my hands
