Slipping Through My Fingers
Abba
GSchoolbag in hanGmd
She leaves Dhome in the F#mearly morning
GWaving Gmgoodbye
With an Dabsent-minded F#msmile
GI watch her Gmgo
With a Dsurge of that welF#ml-known sadness
GAnd I have to Asit down for a whiDle
The Gfeeling that I'm A/C#losing her forDeverF#
And Gwithout really Aentering her DworldD/F#
I'm Gglad whenever I A/C#can share her Dlaughter, that Asus4funny little Dsus4girlD
Slipping through my Gfingers all the Dtime
I try to F#mcapture every Emminute
The Gfeeling Din it
Slipping through my Asus4fingers Aall the Dtime
Do I really Gsee what's in her Dmind
Each time I F#mthink I'm close to Emknowing
She Gkeeps on Dgrowing
Slipping through my Asus4fingers Aall the Dtime
GSleep in our Gmeyes
Her and Dme at the F#mbreakfast table
GBarely Gmawake
I let Dprecious time go F#mby
GThen when she's Gmgone
There's that Dodd melancF#mholy feeling
GAnd a sense of Aguilt I can't Ddeny
What hapGpened to the A/C#wonderful DadventuresF#
The placGes I had Aplanned for us to Dgo D/F#(slipping through my fingers all the time)
GWell some of that we A/C#did
But most we Ddidn't
And Asus4why I just don't Dsus4knowD
Slipping through my Gfingers all the Dtime
I try to F#mcapture every Emminute
The Gfeeling Din it
Slipping through my Asus4fingers Aall the Dtime
Do I really Gsee what's in her Dmind
Each time I F#mthink I'm close to Emknowing
She Gkeeps on Dgrowing
Slipping through my Asus4fingers Aall the Dtime
GSometimes I wish that I Acould freeze the DpictureF#
GAnd save it from the Afunny tricks of Dtime
