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