Accordi Slipping Through My Fingers

          
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 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)
                              
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

                       

                   

                               
Slipping through my fingers all the time

          
Schoolbag in hand, 
                              
she leaves home in the early morning
                               
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
