I Nearly Let Love Go Slipping Through My Fingers lyrics

I'm foolish, I'm silly

I'm absolutely daft

As a sailor on a sea of love

I don't know fore from aft

Admit it, I'll have to

Almost without defence

And here's the proof

I'm a silly goof

Without a grain of common sense

I nearly let love go

Slipping through my fingers

Oh yes, I did, I know I did

My happiness, too

Was slipping thro' my fingers

Like golden sands

Right thro' my hands

But I woke in time

And I saved my pride

Yet tho' love is mine

I tremble when I realize

I nearly let love go

Slipping through my fingers

Oh yes, I did, foolish me

For without love

Where in the world would I be

I nearly let love go

Slipping through my fingers

Oh yes, I did, I know I did

My happiness, too

Was slipping thro' my fingers

Like golden sands

Right thro' my hands

But I woke in time

And I saved my pride

Yet tho' love is mine

I tremble when I realize

I nearly let love go

Slipping through my fingers

Oh yes, I did, foolish me

For without love

Where in the world would I be
