Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA

[00:01.18]Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
[00:08.92]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:16.95]I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:24.45]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:30.81]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:37.74]And without really entering her world
[00:44.67]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:50.16]That funny little girl
[00:54.42]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:57.66]I try to capture every minute
[01:02.65]The feeling in it
[01:04.77]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:08.270004]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:11.26]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:16.41]She keeps on growing
[01:18.47]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:24.71]Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast table
[01:32.479996]Barely awake I let precious time go by
[01:40.72]Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:47.520004]And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:54.39]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:01.37]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:05.93](Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[02:08.43]Well some of that we did but most we didn't
[02:13.73]And why I just don't know
[02:18.22]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:21.47]I try to capture every minute
[02:26.54001]The feeling in it
[02:28.53]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:32.16]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:35.34]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:40.45]She keeps on growing
[02:42.64]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:46.69]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:54.05]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:58.59]Slipping through my fingers
[03:27.66]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:32.76]Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
[03:41.12]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
