Slipping Through My Fingers
[00:00.40] Slipping Through My Fingers | ABBA
[00:04.55] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[00:12.21] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:20.21] I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:27.71] And I have to sit down for a while
[00:33.95] The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:40.96] And without really entering her world
[00:47.71] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:53.20] That funny little girl
[00:57.71] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:00.96] I try to capture every minute
[01:05.95] The feeling in it
[01:07.96] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:11.46] Do I really see what's in her mind?
[01:14.45] Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:19.95] She keeps on growing
[01:21.95] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:27.95] Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
[01:35.71] Barely awake, I let precious time go by
[01:43.45] Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:50.45] And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[01:57.21] What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:04.46] The places I had planned for us to go?
[02:08.93] (Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[02:11.18] Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
[02:16.43] And why, I just don't know
[02:21.17] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:24.42] I try to capture every minute
[02:29.67] The feeling in it
[02:31.92] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:35.17] Do I really see what's in her mind?
[02:38.67] Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:43.67] She keeps on growing
[02:45.92] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:49.92] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:57.43] And save it from the funny tricks of time
[03:01.92] Slipping through my fingers
[03:30.18] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:36.43] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
[03:44.92] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
