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