[00:01.36]Schoolbag in hand,she leaves home in the early morning
[00:08.11]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:16.40]I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:23.87]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:30.22]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:37.13]And without really entering her world
[00:43.42]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[00:49.47]That funny little girl
[00:53.84]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[00:56.88]I try to capture every minute
[01:02.01]The feeling in it
[01:04.25]Slipping through my fingers all the time

[02:20.75]I try to capture every minute
[02:26.18]The feeling in it Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:31.77]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:34.66]Each time I think I'm close to knowing She keeps on growing

[02:46.78]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[02:53.63]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[02:58.09]Slipping through my fingers
[03:26.43]Slipping through my fingers all the time
