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 |
Solo |
Bridge: |
Bridge: |
Slipping through my fingers |
All the time |
Schoolbag in hand |
She leaves home |
In the early morning |
Waving goodbye |
With an absent minded smile |
