School bag in [Gm] hand, she [D] leaves home [F#m] early [G] morning
[Gm] Waving goodbye [D] with an absent-minded [F#m] smile
[G] I watch [Gm] her go with the [D] search of [F#m] that well-known sadness
[G] And I have to [A] sit down [D] for a while
The [G]
feeling that [A] I'm losing her [D] forever
[F#] And without really [A] entering [D] her world
[G] I'm glad [A] whenever I can share [D] her laughter
That [A]
funny [D] little girl
[D]
Slipping [G] through my fingers [D] all the time
I try to [F#m] capture every [Em] minute
[G] The [D] feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I [G] really see what's [D] in her mind?
Each time I [F#m] think I'm close [Em] to knowing
She keeps [D] on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the [A] time
[G] Sleep in [Gm] our eyes
[D] Her and me at [F#] the breakfast [G] table Barely [Gm] awake
I let [D] precious time [F#] go [F#] by
[G] Then when [Gm] she's gone
There's [D] that old [F#] melancholy feeling
And [G] innocence, a [A] guilt I [D] can't deny
[G]
What happened to the [A] wonderful [D]
adventures?
[F#] The [G] places I [A] planned for us [D] to go
[G] Some of that we [A] did, but most [D] we didn't
[A] But what I'll [G] never [D] know
[G] Slipping through my fingers all the time
[D]
I try to [F#m] capture every [Em] minute
The feeling [D] in it
Slipping through my [A] fingers [D] all the time
Do [G] I really see [D] what's in her mind?
Each time I [F#m] think I'm close [Em] to knowing
[G] She keeps [D] on growing
Slipping [A] through my fingers all [D] the time
[G] Sometimes I wish that [A] I could freeze [D] the picture
[F#] [G] Save it from the [A] funny tricks [D] of time
Slipping through my [Bm]
fingers
