| [00:00.54] |
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning |
| [00:07.81] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
| [00:15.49] |
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness |
| [00:23.31] |
And I have to sit down for a while |
| [00:29.45] |
The feeling that I'm losing her forever |
| [00:36.66] |
And without really entering her world |
| [00:43.33] |
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter |
| [00:49.03] |
That funny little girl |
| [00:52.85] |
|
| [00:53.84] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [00:57.05] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [01:01.75] |
The feeling in it |
| [01:03.94] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:07.33] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [01:10.82] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [01:15.84] |
She keeps on growing |
| [01:17.96] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [01:22.02] |
|
| [01:23.97] |
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table |
| [01:31.96] |
Barely awake I let precious time go by |
| [01:40.00] |
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling |
| [01:47.00] |
And a sense of guilt I can't deny |
| [01:53.70] |
What happened to the wonderful adventures |
| [02:00.22] |
The places I had planned for us to go |
| [02:06.96] |
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't |
| [02:12.87] |
And why, I just don't know |
| [02:16.94] |
|
| [02:17.21] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:20.66] |
I try to capture every minute |
| [02:25.97] |
The feeling in it |
| [02:28.00] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:31.68] |
Do I really see what's in her mind |
| [02:34.92] |
Each time I think I'm close to knowing |
| [02:39.89] |
She keeps on growing |
| [02:42.02] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [02:45.86] |
|
| [02:46.00] |
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture |
| [02:53.00] |
And save it from the funny tricks of time |
| [02:57.95] |
Slipping through my fingers |
| [03:04.66] |
|
| [03:26.00] |
Slipping through my fingers all the time |
| [03:30.56] |
|
| [03:32.00] |
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning |
| [03:40.07] |
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile |
