The Tips of My Fingers Songtext
von Dean Martin

I reached out my arms and I touched you
With soft words, I whispered your name

I held you right on the tip of my fingers
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 tip of my fingers
But I let it slip right through my hand
Yes, I let it slip right through my hands

Somebody took you when I wasn′t looking
And I should have known from the start
It's a long, long way from the tip 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 tip of my fingers
But I let you slip right through my hand
But I let you slip right through my hand
(Right through my hands)
