(I had your love on the tip of my fingers)
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 hands
But 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
It's a long long way...

The Tip of My Fingers
Artist: Des O'Connor
Album: Best of Slow Waltz Music
Song Length: 2:51
George's Thoughts: Lovely selection, originally made popular by Hank Snow but really brought to life by Des O'Connor's smooth crooning. This version also loses the country feeling of the original song, making it better suited for the Waltz. Also found on "The Ultimate Ballroom Album 1" and a version by Anita Perras is available on Casa Musica's "Moments for Two (Vol 2)" album.
