G                C          G
I reached out my arms and I touched you 
                  C              G
With soft words I whispered your name 
            G7          C          G
I held your love on the tips of my fingers  
                A7         D7
But that was as close as I came 
 

[Verse 2] 
G             C         G
My eyes had a vision of sweetness 
         C          G
Yielding beneath my command
           G7           C          G
I held you right on the tips of my fingers
                   C                G
But I let you slip right through my hands 
                   C                G
Yes I let you slip right through my hands


[Verse 3] 
D7                     C        G
Somebody took you when I wasn't looking
                             D7
I should have known from the start
       G         G7           C          G
It's a long long way from the tips of my fingers
                   C           G
To the love hidden deep in your heart  
                   C          G
To the love hidden deep in my heart


[Verse 4] 
           G7          C          G
I held you love on the tips of my fingers  
                   C                G
But I let you slip right through my hands  
                   D7            G
Yes I let you slip right through hands
                        C          G
I held your love on the tips of my fingers
