Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
While never really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 old melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[PreChorus]
What happened to our 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
[Outro]
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
