| [00:01.030] |
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning |
| [00:08.370] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
| [00:16.470] |
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness |
| [00:23.970] |
And I have to sit down for a while |
| [00:30.250] |
The feeling that I'm losing her forever |
| [00:36.760] |
And without really entering her world |
| [00:44.110] |
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter |
| [00:50.750] |
That funny little girl |
| [00:53.960] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [00:57.210] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [01:02.170] |
The feeling in it |
| [01:04.260] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:07.730] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [01:10.860] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [01:16.060] |
She keeps on growing |
| [01:18.090] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:24.560] |
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table |
| [01:27.470] |
Barely awake, I let precious time go by |
| [01:33.060] |
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling |
| [01:47.090] |
And a sense of guilt I can't deny |
| [01:53.150] |
What happened to the wonderful adventures |
| [02:01.160] |
The places I had planned for us to go |
| [02:05.290] |
(Slipping through my fingers all the time) |
| [02:08.240] |
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't |
| [02:13.370] |
And why I just don't know |
| [02:17.820] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:21.210] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [02:26.220] |
The feeling in it |
| [02:28.310] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:31.890] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [02:35.150] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [02:40.150] |
She keeps on growing |
| [02:42.310] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:47.040] |
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture |
| [02:53.730] |
And save it from the funny tricks of time |
| [02:58.720] |
Slipping through my fingers |
| [03:26.570] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [03:32.780] |
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning |
| [03:40.940] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
