The Tip Of My Fingers

The Tip Of My Fingers - P.J. Proby

I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I held you right 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

Somebody took you when I wasn't looking

And I should have known known from the start

It's a long long way from the tips of my fingers

To the love hidden deep in your heart

Yes I had your love on the tips of my fingers

But I let it slip right through my hands

Yes I let it slip right through my hands
