stephen redwood - Slipping Through My Fingers lyrics
Your rating:
[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 1] 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 2] 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. [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. [Pre-Chorus 3] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture and save it from the funny tricks of time, slipping through my fingers. [Outro] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning, waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile.
