The Tip of My Fingers
I reached out my hands and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held your love 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
Yes I let it slip right through my hands
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking...
And I should have know 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.........
