DONNA: |
|
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 loosing 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 |
|
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 |
|
DONNA & SOPHIE: |
|
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture |
|
And save it from the funny tricks of time |
|
Slipping through my fingers - |
