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
Oh, 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 hands
Yes, I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
And I should have known from the start
Well, it's a long long way from the tip of my fingers

To the love that's hidden
Deep in your heart to the love
Hidden deep in your heart
Yes, somebody took you...
