[00:00.941]Schoolbag in hand,
[00:03.914]she leaves home in the early morning
[00:08.694]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:17.634]I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
[00:25.435]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:33.329]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:39.257]And without really entering her world
[00:46.760]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:52.153]That funny little girl
[00:56.602]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:00.084]I try to capture every minute
[01:05.676]The feeling in it
[01:07.794]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:12.625]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:14.549]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:20.739]She keeps on growing
[01:22.053]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:28.380]Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
[01:36.555]Barely awake I let precious time go by
[01:45.048]Then when she's gone,
[01:48.522]there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:52.931]And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:59.473]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:06.932]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:13.804]Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
[02:20.324]And why, I just don't know
[02:26.961]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:28.167]I try to capture every minute
[02:32.552]The feeling in it
[02:34.851]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:38.362]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:41.706]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:47.002]She keeps on growing
[02:50.125]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:56.095]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[03:03.687]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[03:08.564]Slipping through my fingers
[03:16.607]Slipping through my fingers all the time
