I reached out my  arms and I touched  you,
                   G               C
With soft  words I whispered your  name,
F                        C
I held you right on the  tips of my  fingers,
     D7                     G
But that was as close as I came,
 

   C           G         C
My eyes had a vision of sweet  lips,
             G        C
Yielding  beneath my command
F                      C
I had your love on the tips of my  fingers,
        D7                            G
But I  let it slip right through  my hands,
       C          G                 C
but I let it slip right through my hands,

 
                        G        C
Somebody  took you when I wasn' looking,
                          G              C
And I  should have known right from the start,
       F                        C
It' a  long, long way from the  tips of my  fingers,
        D7                       G
To the  love hidden deep in your heart,
         C           G             C
To the  love hidden  deep in your heart.
