Can little fingers reach out to rescue me?
Tempting are the bright lights that draw me out each night
Tempting are forbidden lips and arms that hold you tight
But when I start to weaken and the urge won't let me be
Ten little fingers reach out to rescue me
Ten little fingers stubbing at my nose
Four little teeth, a tiny chin, cheeks just like a rose
A baby girl less than a year etched in my memory
Ten little fingers reach out to rescue me
I know my man is waiting with love light in his eyes
I guess he's getting tired of all my alibis
But every time I weaken and my blessings I can't see
Ten little fingers reach out to rescue me
Ten little fingers stubbing at my nose
Four little teeth, a tiny chin, cheeks just like a rose
A baby girl less than a year etched in my memory
Ten little fingers reach out to rescue me
Ten little fingers reach out to rescue me
