Slipping Trough My Fingers Lyrics

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 closing to knowing She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers All the time Sleep in your 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 What happened to the Wonderful adventures The place 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 Schoolbag in hand She leaves home In the early morning Waving goodbye With and absent-minded smile...
