agnetha faltskog – slipping through my fingers lyrics
school bag 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
the feeling that i’m
loosin her forever
and without really
entering her world
i’m glad whenever i
can share her laughter
that funny little girl
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
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
what happened to the
wonderful adventures
the places i had
planned for us to go
well some of that we did
but most we didn’t
and why i just don’t know
slipping through my fingers…
sometimes i wish
that i could freeze
the picture
and save it from
the funny tricks of time
schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile
