[Verse 1]
Schoolbag in h
and, she leave
s home in the
early morning
Waving goodbye
with an absen
t-minded smile
I watch her go
with a surge
of that well k
nown sadness
And I have to
sit down for a
while
The feeling th
at I'm losing
her forever
And without re
ally entering
her world
I'm glad whene
ver I can shar
e her laughter
That funny lit
tle girl
[Chorus]
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
I try to captu
re every minut
e
The feeling in
it
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
Do I really se
e what's in he
r mind
Each time I th
ink I'm close
to knowing
She keeps on g
rowing
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
[Verse 2]
Sleep in our e
yes, her and m
e at the break
fast table
Barely awake I
let precious
time go by
Then when she'
s gone, there'
s that odd mel
ancholy feelin
g
And a sense of
guilt I can't
deny
What happened
to the wonderf
ul adventures
The places I h
ad planned for
us to go
Well, some of
that we did, b
ut most we did
n't
And why, I jus
t don't know
[Chorus]
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
I try to captu
re every minut
e
The feeling in
it
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
Do I really se
e what's in he
r mind
Each time I th
ink I'm close
to knowing
She keeps on g
rowing
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wi
sh that I coul
d freeze the p
icture
And save it fr
om the funny t
ricks of time
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
[Solo]
Slipping throu
gh my fingers
all the time
Schoolbag in h
and, she leave
s home in the
early morning
Waving goodbye
with an absen
t-minded smile
