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