abba - slipping through my fingers / me and i (live) [dick cavett meets lyrics
slipping through my fingers
[verse 1]
schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
i watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
and i have to sit down for a while
[pre-chorus]
the feeling that i’m losing her forever
and without really entering her world
i’m glad whenever i can share her laughter
that funny little girl
[chorus]
slipping through my fingers all the time
i try to capture every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers all the time
do i really see what’s in her mind?
each time i think i’m close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers all the time
[verse 2]
sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
barely awake, i let precious time go by
then when she’s gone, there’s that odd melancholy feeling
and a sense of guilt i can’t deny
[pre-chorus]
what happened to the wonderful adventures
the places i had planned for us to go?
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
well, some of that we did, but most we didn’t
and why, i just don’t know
[chorus]
slipping through my fingers all the time
i try to capture every minute
the feeling in it
slipping through my fingers all the time
do i really see what’s in her mind?
each time i think i’m close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers all the time
[bridge]
sometimes i wish that i could freeze the picture
and save it from the funny tricks of time
slipping through my fingers
[interlude]
[outro]
slipping through my fingers all the time
schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
me and i
[verse 1]
sometimes when i’m mad
there’s a part of me that seems to be a little sad
sometimes when i scream
there’s a voice in me that says, “you shouldn’t be so mean”
oh no, oh no
part of me is acting while the other stands beside
yes, i am to myself what jekyll must have been to hyde
[chorus]
we’re like sun and rainy weather
sometimes we’re a hit together
me and i
gloomy moods and inspiration
we’re a funny combination
me and i
[post-chorus]
i don’t think i’m different or in any way unique
think about yourself for a minute
and you’ll find the answer in it
everyone’s a freak
[verse 2]
sometimes i have toyed
with ideas that i got from good old dr. freud
nothing new of course
it may seem to you i try to break through open doors
oh no, oh no
i just wanna say a lot of that applies to me
’cause it’s an explanation to my split ident-ty
[chorus]
we’re like sun and rainy weather
sometimes we’re a hit together
me and i
gloomy moods and inspiration
we’re a funny combination
me and i
[post-chorus]
i don’t think i’m different or in any way unique
think about yourself for a minute
and you’ll find the answer in it
everyone’s a freak
[interlude]
[post-chorus]
i don’t think i’m different or in any way unique
think about yourself for a minute
and you’ll find the answer in it
everyone’s a freak
[chorus]
we’re like sun and rainy weather
sometimes we’re a hit together
me and i
gloomy moods and inspiration
we’re a funny combination
me and i
we’re like sun and rainy weather
sometimes we’re a hit together
me and i
gloomy moods and inspiration
we’re a funny combination
me and i
