SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS...

Since seeing MAMMA MIA I can't get this song out of my HEAD!!!!...So this is dedicated to my 2 Beautiful Daughters...

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....

The feeling that I'm loosing 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 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

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture...

And save it from the funny tricks of time...

Slipping through my fingers....
