[00:01.33]Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[00:08.67]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:16.77]I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:24.27]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:30.55]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:37.06]And without really entering her world
[00:44.41]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:51.05]That funny little girl
[00:54.26]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:57.51]I try to capture every minute
[01:02.47]The feeling in it
[01:04.56]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:08.03]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:11.16]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:16.36]She keeps on growing
[01:18.39]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:24.86]Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
[01:27.77]Barely awake, I let precious time go by
[01:33.36]Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:47.39]And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:53.45]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:01.46]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:05.59](Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[02:08.54]Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
[02:13.67]And why I just don't know
[02:18.12]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:21.51]I try to capture every minute
[02:26.52]The feeling in it
[02:28.61]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:32.19]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:35.45]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:40.45]She keeps on growing
[02:42.61]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:47.34]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:54.03]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:59.02]Slipping through my fingers
[03:26.87]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:33.08]Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
[03:41.24]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
