I had you right on the tips of my fingers
I reach out my arms and I touch you
With soft words I whisper 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 fingers
But I let it slip right through my fingers
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
That it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your hearts
To the love hidden deep in your hearts
I had you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my fingers
But I let it slip right through my fingers
