Roy Clark - Tip of My Fingers lyrics

(Bill Anderson)

(I had you right on the tip of my fingers.)

I reached out my arms and I touched you

With soft words I whispered your name

I had your love 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

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

That 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.

I had your love on the tips of my fingers

But I let you slip right through my hands.

Yes, I let you slip right through my hands...
