Slipping Through My Fingers~1

[00:09.10] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

[00:16.24] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

[00:23.74] I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness

[00:30.74] And I have to sit down for a while

[00:36.75] The feeling that I'm losing her forever

[00:42.99] And without really entering her world

[00:49.49] I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

[00:54.49] That funny little girl

[00:58.73] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[01:01.99] I try to capture every minute

[01:06.75] The feeling in it

[01:08.98] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[01:11.99] Do I really see what's in her mind

[01:14.98] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[01:19.73] She keeps on growing

[01:21.74] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[01:27.73] Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table

[01:34.99] Barely awake I let precious time go by

[01:42.49] Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling

[01:49.23] And a sense of guilt I can't deny

[01:55.49] What happened to those wonderful adventures?

[02:02.24] The places I had planned for us to go? (Slipping through my fingers all the time)

[02:08.48] Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't

[02:13.73] And why? I just don't know

[02:17.74] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:20.73] I try to capture every minute

[02:25.74] The feeling in it

[02:27.74] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:30.99] Do I really see what's in her mind

[02:33.99] Each time I think I'm close to knowing

[02:38.98] She keeps on growing

[02:40.74] Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:54.64] Do you think I'm letting you down?

[02:58.29] Why would you even think that?

[03:01.18] Oh, because of what you've done. I mean, the Dynamos, raising a kid, and running a business all on your own

[03:09.58] Well, Honey, I didn't have a choice. I couldn't go home. You know? When I got pregnant, my mother told me not to bother coming back, and I wouldn't have it any other way. My God, look at what we've had!

[03:33.73] Will you give me away?

[03:44.62] Yeah

[03:49.77] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

[03:56.26] And save it from the funny tricks of time

[04:00.76] Slipping through my fingers (Slipping through my fingers all the time)

[04:36.17] Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning

[04:43.67] Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
