(Bill Anderson)

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
But that was as close as I came.

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeelding beneath my command
I held your love on the tip 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
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.

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...
