     I reached out my arms and I touched you.  With soft words 
       C5                                 D5          C5 
     I whispered your name.  I held your love on the tips of my 
     G5                         C5          G5 
     fingers.  But that was as close as I came.  My eyes had a 
     C5         G5                    C5             G5 
     vision of sweetness.  Yielding beneath my command.

     I held you right on the tips of my fingers,  Yes I let you 
          C5                G5                          D5 
     slip right through my hands.  Yes I let you slip right

     Somebody took you when I wasn't looking,  I should have 
                     D5             G5                      C5 
     known from the start.  It's a long long way from the tips 
           G5                          C5           G5 
     of my fingers to the love hidden deep in you heart.  To the
