Schoolbag in hand
DF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
GGm
Waving goodbye
DA
With an absent-minded smile
G Ab
I watch her go
DF#m
With a surge of that well-known sadness
GADsus4 D
And I have to sit down for a while
GADF#
The feeling that I'm loosing her forever
GA D
And without really entering her world
G AD ADsus4D
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter that funny little girl
GAD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
F#mEm
I try to capture every minute
D
The feeling in it
ADsus4D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
GD
Do I really see what's in her mind
F#mEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
D
She keeps on growing
ADsus4D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
GGm
Sleep in our eyes
DF#m
Her and me at the breakfast table
GGm
Barely awake
DA
I let precious time go by
GGm
Then when she's gone
DF#m
There's that odd melancholy feeling
GADsus4D
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
GAD
What happened to the wonderful adventures
GA D D7
The places I had planned for us to go
GA
Well some of that we did
D
But most we didn't
ADsus4D
And why I just don't know
GAD
Slipping through my fingers all the time
F#mEm
I try to capture every minute
D
The feeling in it
ADsus4D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
GD
Do I really see what's in her mind
F#mEm
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
D
She keeps on growing
ADsus4D
Slipping through my fingers all the time
GADF#m
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
G AD
And save it from the funny tricks of time
GA
Slipping through my fingers
GGm
Schoolbag in hand
DF#m
She leaves home in the early morning
