I reached out my arms and I touched you,
With soft words I whispered your name,
I held you right on the tips 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 right from the start,
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.
