I had you right on the tips of my fingersI reach out my arms and I touch youWith soft words I whisper your nameI had you right on the tips of my fingersBut that was as close as I cameMy eyes had a vision of sweet lipsYielding beneath my commandI had your love on the tips of my fingersBut I let it slip right through my fingersBut I let it slip right through my fingersSomebody took you when I wasn't lookingAnd I should have known from the startThat it's a long, long way from the tips of my fingersTo the love hidden deep in your heartsTo the love hidden deep in your heartsI had you right on the tips of my fingersBut I let it slip right through my fingersBut I let it slip right through my fingers
