Harry M. Woods - I Nearly Let Love Go Slipping Through My Fingers lyrics

(Verse) I'm foolish, I'm silly I'm absolutely daft As a sailor on a sea of love I don't know fore from aft Admit it, I'll have to Almost without defense And here's the proof I'm a silly goof Without a grain of common sense (Chorus) I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers Oh yes, I did I know I did My happiness, too, was slipping through my fingers Like golden sands Right through my hands But I woke in time And I saved my prize Yet though love is mine I tremble when I realize I nearly let love go slipping through my fingers Oh yes, I did Foolish me! For without love, where in this world would I be?
