《Slipping Through My Fingers》歌词

[00:00:01] Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning

[00:00:08] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

[00:00:16] I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness

[00:00:24] And I have to sit down for a while

[00:00:30] The feeling that I'm losing her forever

[00:00:37] And without really entering her world

[00:00:44] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

[00:00:50] That funny little girl

[00:00:54] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:00:57] I try to capture every minute

[00:01:02] The feeling in it

[00:01:04] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:01:08] Do I really see what's in her mind

[00:01:11] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[00:01:16] She keeps on growing

[00:01:18] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:01:24] Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast table

[00:01:32] Barely awake I let precious time go by

[00:01:40] Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling

[00:01:47] And a sense of guilt I can't deny

[00:01:54] What happened to the wonderful adventures

[00:02:01] The places I had planned for us to go

[00:02:05] (Slipping through my fingers all the time)

[00:02:08] Well some of that we did but most we didn't

[00:02:13] And why I just don't know

[00:02:18] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:21] I try to capture every minute

[00:02:26] The feeling in it

[00:02:28] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:32] Do I really see what's in her mind

[00:02:35] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[00:02:40] She keeps on growing

[00:02:42] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:46] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

[00:02:54] And save it from the funny tricks of time

[00:02:58] Slipping through my fingers

[00:03:27] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:03:32] Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning

[00:03:41] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
