Roger Miller - Tips 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 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 tips of my fingers To the love hidden deep in your heart
