I reached out my arms
And I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
Ah, but that
Was as close as I came
My eyes had a vision
Of sweet lips
Yielding beneath
My command
I held 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
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 heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart
I held 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
