The Tip of My Fingers Songtext

von Roy Clark

I had you right on the tip of my fingers

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had you right on the tips of my fingers
Oh but that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeelding 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
That 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

I had you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes I let you slip right through my hands

I had you right on the tip of my fingers

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I had you right on the tips of my fingers
Oh but that was as close as I came

My eyes had a vision of sweet lips
Yeelding 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
That 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

I had you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hands
Yes I let you slip right through my hands
