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

   C          G         C
My eyes had a vision of sweet lips,
             G        C
Yielding be neath my command,
F                      C
I had your love on the tips of my fingers,
      D7                            G
But I let it slip right through my hands,
      C           G                C
but I let it slip right through my hands,

                        G        C
Somebody took you when I wasn t looking,
                         G              C
And I should have known right from the start,
       F                        C

       D7                       G

       C           G            C
