Slipping through my fingers
ABBA
CAPO 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
The feeling that I'm loosing 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
(slipping through my fingers
all the time)
/d#
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
