(Bill Anderson)



(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 your love on the tips of my fingers

Oh, 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

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 your love on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands.



Yes, I let you slip right through my hands...
