- "Slipping Through My Fingers" is a song written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA from their 1981 album The Visitors, with lead vocals by Agnetha Fältskog. The song is about a mother's regret at how quickly her daughter is growing up, and the lack of time they have spent together, as the girl goes to school.
The inspiration for the song was Ulvaeus' and Fältskog's daughter, Linda Ulvaeus, who was seven at the time the song was written.
The song was only released as a single in Japan (Discomate, 1981), where it was a red vinyl promo single for The Coca-Cola Company with nothing on the B-side except a printed picture of the group. An album with the same name and a similar-looking cover was also released in Japan.
Here is my instrumental version of the great song. I hope you like it. Dave
p.s. The superb backing track is available here...

This is so beautiful and makes me extremely happy. My grandma loves this song and the Mama Mia movie. Her and I use to watch it together all the time, so just hearing this makes me beyond happy.
afah iyah
i wish i could like this a million times. it’s so beautiful. dream to have this played at my future wedding
Well it sure is ABBA season Dave, and this is another fine track.
Made for an excellent instrumental.
Cheers!

Dang even as a teenager I love this
Tf is that supposed to mean
what does your age have to do with it lmao
Bruh what
Wow so unique and quirky 🥰
omfffggg
Hi Dave, my name is Serena and this is this song’s best cover that I ever found. The end had me crying my eyes out. Thank you for this beautiful piece ,my sweet cat died 2 weeks ago I don’t know why but I kept playing this song in my head before we took her to the vet. She had cancer and had been my friend for the last 10 years. I’m so glad you made this cover, it remembers me every day of my love.
Hi serena, I hope you’re doing okay now.
I was the exact same when I lost my cat of 10 years.
He really slipped through my fingers and I do wish I could freeze the picture. Think the words hit home a lot more when you listen. This cover has me in tears everytime but it’s the best one & most comforting.❤
For those who shed tears. She’d them not in sadness for time lost. But shed them in joy for the time you still have.
i just know he was such a cool teenager/young adult. this man made my day, because this song is quite special to me. keep up the great work :)
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to those wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't
And why, I just don't know
Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Dave, two years later and you’re still making me emotional with this masterpiece! Lovely job my man!
this is why I love the internet. this had me tearing up. This song brings me back to moments that are irreplaceable. This was absolutely gorgeous. You are so talented.
Merryl Streep sang this song in Mama Mia the movie 2008.

Just lost my grandfather 2 months ago, he and I were very close. This song helped me get through the grief. Thank you Mr Dave...
So sorry to hear of your loss.

Shoot I teared up a little bit bro 😭😭😭
when i hear this song, i always remember Meryl Streep.
very nice rendition Dave as always. 💕👏
same here. she performs this song so well.
I can’t stop listening to this it brings back so many memories I can’t help but to burst out into tears simply due to the fact that I believe I lost the love of my life.I miss him so much it’s been 8 months.I do my best to hide it because he hurt me and lied to me however he genuinely made me happy and I’m going to miss him very much.I wish him nothing but the best
What an amazing peace, this specific one always makes me so emotional❤️🩹!
In love with this video. So emotional ❤️
my best friend has been drifting away from me slowly, and I've been listening to your cover ever since. it would always bring me comfort, thank you, Mr. Monk :]

Замечательное исполнение! Но зачем Вам три почти одинаковых Стратокастера?
У всех разные звуки.
super beautiful, subscirbed :)
Man, you look so young when you play that guitar, you made this song unique in your own way. Well done 🦋
Those that don't like are either envious, a competetor, expecting something else, or stupid! What is not to like!!!! Stunningly good choice and played beautifully
Very Nice! Beautiful!
