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