Roy Clark - The Tips of My Fingers

 

(I had you right on
The tips 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
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.

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.
