The Tips Of My Fingers

(album: I Am Ready - 1991)

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words I whispered your name
I held your love 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 held you right on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right thru my hands.
Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands.

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known 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.

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
I should have known 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.

I held your love on the tips of my fingers
But I let you slip right thru my hands.
Yes, I let you slip right thru my hands.

I held your love on the tips of my fingers...
