[Eb]
School bag in hand, she leaves [Bbm] [F] home in the [Bb] early morning
[Eb] Waving goodbye with [Bb] an absent [Dm]-minded smile
I [Eb] watch [Ebm] her go with a [Bb] surge of well-known sadness
[Eb] And I have [F] to sit down for a [Bb] while
[Eb] The feeling that I'm [F] losing her [Bb] forever
[D] And [Eb] without [A] really entering her [Bb] world
I'm [Eb] glad whenever [F] I can share [Bb] her laughter
[F] That funny little [Bb] girl
Slipping through [Eb] my fingers all [Bb] the time
I try [Dm] to capture every [Cm] minute
The [Bb]
feeling in it
Slipping through [F] my fingers all [Gm] the time
Do I [Eb] really see what's in her [Bb] mind
Each time [Dm] I think I'm close [Cm] to knowing
She keeps [Bb] on going
Slipping through [F] my fingers all [Bb] the time
[Eb] Sleep in [Ebm] our eyes
[Bb] Covering me at the breakfast table
[Eb] Barely [Ebm] awake
I let [Bb] precious time [Dm] go by
[Eb] Then when [Ebm] she's gone
There's [Bb] that odd melancholy feeling
[Eb] And a sense [F] of guilt I can't [Bb] deny
What [Eb] happened to [F] the wonderful [Bb] adventures
[D] The [Eb] places I [F] had planned for us to [Bb] go
[Eb] Well some of that [F] we did but most [Bb] we didn't
[F] But why I just [C] don't know
[Bb] Slipping [Eb] through my fingers all [Bb] the time
I try [Dm] to capture every [Cm] minute
[Eb] The [Bb] feeling in it
Slipping [F] through my fingers all [Gm] the time
Do I [Eb] really see what's in [Bb] her mind
Each time [Dm] I think I'm close [Cm] to knowing
[Eb] She keeps [Bb] on going
Slipping [F] through my fingers all the [Bb] time
[Eb] Sometimes I wish [F] that I could [Bb] freeze the picture
[D] And
[Eb] save it from [Dm] the funny tricks of [Bb] time
Slipping [Eb] through my fingers all [Bb] the time
