Slipping Through My Fingers
Schoolbag in hand
- Schoolbag in hand
- She leaves home
- In the early morning
- Waving goodbye with
- An absent-minded smile
- I watch her go with
- A surge of that well-known sadness
- And I have to sit down
- For a while
- The feeling that
- I'm losing her forever
- And without really
- Entering her world
- I'm glad whenever
- I can share her laughter
- That funny little girl
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- I try to capture every minute
- The feeling in it
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- Do I really see
- What's in her mind
- Each time I think
- I'm close to knowing
- She keeps on growing
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- Sleep in our eyes
- Her and me at
- The breakfast table
- Barely awake
- I let precious time go by
- Then when she's gone
- There's that odd melancholy feeling
- And a sense of guilt
- I can't deny
- What happened to
- The wonderful adventures
- The places I had planned
- For us to go
- Well some of that we did
- But most we didn't
- And why I just don't know
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- I try to capture every minute
- The feeling in it
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- Do I really see
- What's in her mind
- Each time I think
- I'm close to knowing
- She keeps on growing
- Slipping through my fingers
- All the time
- Sometimes I wish that
- I could freeze the picture
- And save it from
- The funny tricks of time
- Slipping through my fingers
- Slipping through
- My fingers all the time
- Schoolbag in hand
- She leaves home
- In the early morning
- Waving goodbye with
- An absent-minded smile
