[00:00.54]Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[00:07.81]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:15.49]I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
[00:23.31]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:29.45]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:36.66]And without really entering her world
[00:43.33]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:49.03]That funny little girl
[00:52.85]
[00:53.84]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:57.05]I try to capture every minute
[01:01.75]The feeling in it
[01:03.94]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:07.33]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:10.82]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:15.84]She keeps on growing
[01:17.96]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:22.02]
[01:23.97]Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
[01:31.96]Barely awake I let precious time go by
[01:40.00]Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:47.00]And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:53.70]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:00.22]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:06.96]Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
[02:12.87]And why, I just don't know
[02:16.94]
[02:17.21]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:20.66]I try to capture every minute
[02:25.97]The feeling in it
[02:28.00]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:31.68]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:34.92]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:39.89]She keeps on growing
[02:42.02]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:45.86]
[02:46.00]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:53.00]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:57.95]Slipping through my fingers
[03:04.66]
[03:26.00]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:30.56]
[03:32.00]Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[03:40.07]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
