《Slipping Through My Fingers》歌词

[00:00:00] Slipping Through My Fingers (划过指尖) - Siobhán McCarthy/Lisa Stokke

[00:00:00] Schoolbag in hand

[00:00:03] She leaves home in the early morning

[00:00:08] Waving goodbye

[00:00:10] With an absent minded smile

[00:00:16] I watch her go

[00:00:18] With a surge of that well known sadness

[00:00:23] And I have to sit down for a while

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

[00:00:36] And without really entering her world

[00:00:43] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

[00:00:48] That funny little girl

[00:00:53] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:00:56] I try to capture every minute

[00:01:01] The feeling in it

[00:01:03] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:01:06] Do I really see what's in her mind

[00:01:09] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[00:01:14] She keeps on growing

[00:01:17] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:01:23] Sleep in our eyes

[00:01:25] Her and me at the breakfast table

[00:01:30] Barely awake

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

[00:01:38] Then when she's gone

[00:01:41] There's that odd melancholy feeling

[00:01:45] And a sense of guilt

[00:01:48] I can't deny

[00:01:52] What happened to the wonderful adventures

[00:01:58] The places I had planned for us to go

[00:02:05] Well some of that we did

[00:02:08] But most we didn't

[00:02:10] And why I just don't know

[00:02:15] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:18] I try to capture every minute

[00:02:23] The feeling in it

[00:02:25] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:29] Do I really see what's in her mind

[00:02:32] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[00:02:37] She keeps on growing

[00:02:39] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:02:43] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

[00:02:50] And save it from the funny tricks of time

[00:02:54] Slipping through my fingers

[00:03:14] Schoolbag in hand

[00:03:17] She leaves home in the early morning

[00:03:22] Waving goodbye with an absent minded smile
