I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words, I whispered your name
I had your love on the tip of my fingers
But that was as close as I came

My eyes held a vision of sweet lips
Yielding beneath my command
I had your love on the tip 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've known right from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should've known right from the start
It's a long long way from the tip of my fingers
To the love hidden deep in your heart
To the love hidden deep in your heart
