Bill Anderson The Tip Of My Fingers Lyrics

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

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

But I let it slip right through my hands
