D A D
I reached out my arms and I touched you,
D G D
With soft words I whispered your name,
D D7 G D
I held you right on the tips of my fingers,
E7 A7
But that was as close as I came,
D A D
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips,
G D
Yielding beneath my command,
D D7 G D
I had your love on the tips of my fingers,
D A7 D
But I Let it slip right through my hands,
D G D
Yes I let it slip right through my hands,
A G D
Somebody took you when I wasn’t looking,
A
And I should have known from the start,
D D7 G D
It’s a long, long way from the tips of my fingers,
D G D
To the love hidden deep in your heart,
G D
To the love hidden deep in your heart.
