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.
