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
Pre-chorus
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
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 odd melancholy
feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't
deny
Pre-chorus
What happened to the wonderful
adventures
The 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 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
Sometimes I wish that I could
freeze the picture
And save it from the funny
tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
Solo
Slipping through my fingers all
the time
Outro
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early
morning
Waving goodbye with an
absent-minded smile
