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
But that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of your lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hand
But I let it slip right through my hand

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known from the start
But 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
