[00:00.00]Slipping Through My Fingers (1999 / Musical"Mamma Mia") - Siobhan McCarthy/Lisa Stokke
[00:00.81]Schoolbag in hand
[00:03.34]She leaves home in the early morning
[00:08.18]Waving goodbye
[00:10.62]With an absent minded smile
[00:16.29]I watch her go
[00:18.79]With a surge of that well known sadness
[00:23.52]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:30.08]The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
[00:36.59]And without really entering her world
[00:43.26]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:48.43]That funny little girl
[00:53.06]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:56.10]I try to capture every minute
[01:01.23]The feeling in it
[01:03.40]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:06.89]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:09.84]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:14.86]She keeps on growing
[01:17.08]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:23.09]Sleep in our eyes
[01:25.65]Her and me at the breakfast table
[01:30.89]Barely awake
[01:32.94]I let precious time go by
[01:38.73]Then when she's gone
[01:41.20]There's that odd melancholy feeling
[01:45.79]And a sense of guilt
[01:48.05]I can't deny
[01:52.05]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[01:58.80]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:05.58]Well some of that we did
[02:08.89]But most we didn't
[02:10.98]And why I just don't know
[02:15.35]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:18.38]I try to capture every minute
[02:23.52]The feeling in it
[02:25.66]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:29.10]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:32.07]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[02:37.12]She keeps on growing
[02:39.32]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:43.52]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:50.26]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:54.66]Slipping through my fingers
[03:14.72]Schoolbag in hand
[03:17.36]She leaves home in the early morning
[03:22.47]Waving goodbye with an absent minded smile
