Tip Of My Fingers Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I reached out my arms and I touched you 

With soft words I whispered your name 

I had you right 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 had your love on the tips of my fingers 

But I let it slip right through my hands 

But 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 

To the love hidden deep in your heart
