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 i came


My eyes had a
Vision of sweet lips

Yielding beneath
My command


I held 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

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 tip of my fingers

But i let it slip right
Through my hands
Yes, i let it slip right

Through my hands
