Slipping through my fingers (sped up)

[00:00.54] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

[00:06.39] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

[00:12.76] I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness

[00:19.67] And I have to sit down for a while

[00:24.18] The feeling that I'm losing her forever

[00:30.56] And without really entering her world

[00:36.40] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

[00:40.65] That funny little girl

[00:44.37] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:47.29] I try to capture every minute

[00:51.54] The feeling in it

[00:53.14] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[00:56.06] Do I really see what's in her mind?

[00:58.45] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[01:02.69] She keeps on growing

[01:04.82] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[01:09.87] Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

[01:17.31] Barely awake, I let precious time go by

[01:22.88] Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

[01:28.73] And a sense of guilt I can't deny

[01:34.57] What happened to the wonderful adventures

[01:40.42] The places I had planned for us to go?

[01:44.41] (Slipping through my fingers all the time)

[01:46.53] Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't

[01:50.51] And why, I just don't know

[01:54.23] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[01:56.89] I try to capture every minute

[02:01.40] The feeling in it

[02:02.99] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:05.91] Do I really see what's in her mind?

[02:08.58] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[02:13.09] She keeps on growing

[02:14.94] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:18.40] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

[02:24.51] And save it from the funny tricks of time

[02:27.96] Slipping through my fingers

[02:52.14] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:56.65] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

[03:03.56] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
