     I reached out my arms and I touched you.  With soft words 
       C                                 D7          C 
     I whispered your name.  I held your love on the tips of my 
     G                         C          G 
     fingers.  But that was as close as I came.  My eyes had a 
     C         G                    C             G 
     vision of sweetness.  Yielding beneath my command. 
                             C          G 
     I held you right on the tips of my fingers,  Yes I let you 
          C                G                          D7 
     slip right through my hands.  Yes I let you slip right 
               G7 
     trough my hands.

     Somebody took you when I wasn't looking,  I should have 
                     D7             G                      C 
     known from the start.  It's a long long way from the tips 
           G                          C           G 
     of my fingers to the love hidden deep in you heart.  To the 
                 D7         G 
     love hidden deep in my heart. 
 
     G          D7          C          G 
     I held you love on the tips of my fingers,  But I let you 
          C                G                      D7 
     slip right through my hands.  I let you slip right through 
        G                               C          G 
     my hands.  I held your love on the tips of my fingers.
