The Tip of My Fingers Lyrics

(Bill Anderson)

I reached out my hand and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had you right on the tip of my fingers
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
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 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,
