Slipping Through My Fingers lyrics
» Verse 1 «
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morningWaving 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
» Pre-Chorus «
The feeling that I'm losing her foreverAnd without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
» Chorus «
Slipping through my fingers all the timeI 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
» Verse 2 «
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast tableBarely 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
» Pre-Chorus «
What happened to the wonderful adventuresThe places I had planned for us to go?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
And why, I just don't know
» Chorus «
Slipping through my fingers all the timeI 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
» Bridge «
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the pictureAnd save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
» Interlude «
» Outro «
Slipping through my fingers all the timeSchoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
