Slipping Through My Fingers
[00:00.00] Slipping Through My Fingers | ABBA
[00:02.45] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[00:10.11] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:18.11] I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:25.61] And I have to sit down for a while
[00:31.85] The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:38.86] And without really entering her world
[00:45.61] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:51.10] That funny little girl
[00:55.61] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:58.86] I try to capture every minute
[01:03.85] The feeling in it
[01:05.86] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:09.36] Do I really see what's in her mind?
[01:12.35] Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:17.85] She keeps on growing
[01:19.85] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:25.85] Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
[01:33.61] Barely awake, I let precious time go by
[01:41.35] Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:48.35] And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:55.11] What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:02.36] The places I had planned for us to go?
[02:06.83] (Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[02:09.08] Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
[02:14.33] And why, I just don't know
[02:19.07] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:22.32] I try to capture every minute
[02:27.57] The feeling in it
[02:29.82] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:33.07] Do I really see what's in her mind?
[02:36.57] Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:41.57] She keeps on growing
[02:43.82] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:47.82] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:55.33] And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:59.82] Slipping through my fingers
[03:28.08] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:34.33] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[03:42.82] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
