| [00:00.840] |
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning |
| [00:08.110] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
| [00:15.790] |
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness |
| [00:23.610] |
And I have to sit down for a while |
| [00:29.750] |
The feeling that I'm losing her forever |
| [00:36.960] |
And without really entering her world |
| [00:43.630] |
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter |
| [00:49.330] |
That funny little girl |
| [00:53.150] |
|
| [00:54.140] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [00:57.350] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [01:02.050] |
The feeling in it |
| [01:04.240] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:07.630] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [01:11.120] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [01:16.140] |
She keeps on growing |
| [01:18.260] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:22.320] |
|
| [01:24.270] |
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table |
| [01:32.260] |
Barely awake I let precious time go by |
| [01:40.300] |
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling |
| [01:47.300] |
And a sense of guilt I can't deny |
| [01:54.000] |
What happened to the wonderful adventures |
| [02:00.520] |
The places I had planned for us to go |
| [02:07.260] |
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't |
| [02:13.170] |
And why, I just don't know |
| [02:17.240] |
|
| [02:17.510] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:20.960] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [02:26.270] |
The feeling in it |
| [02:28.300] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:31.980] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [02:35.220] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [02:40.190] |
She keeps on growing |
| [02:42.320] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:46.160] |
|
| [02:46.300] |
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture |
| [02:53.300] |
And save it from the funny tricks of time |
| [02:58.250] |
Slipping through my fingers |
| [03:04.960] |
|
| [03:26.300] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [03:30.860] |
|
| [03:32.300] |
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning |
| [03:40.370] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
