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