    [Verse 1]
    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
    [Pre-Chorus]
    The feeling that I'm losing her forever
    While never really entering her world
    I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
    That funny little girl
    [Chorus]
    Slipping through my fingers all the time
    I try to capture every minute
    The feeling in it
    Slipping through my fingеrs all the time
    Do I really see what's in hеr mind?
    Each time I think I'm close to knowing
    She keeps on growing
    Slipping through my fingers all the time
    [Verse 2]
    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 old melancholy feeling
    And a sense of guilt I can't deny
    [Pre-Chorus]
    What happened to our 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
    [Chorus]
    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
    [Bridge]
    Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
    And save it from the funny tricks of time
    Slipping through my fingers
    [Interlude]
    [Outro]
    Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
    Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

    I love how this song speaks to mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers or just whoever had a special young woman in their life that they watch grow up and felt that loss.

    Younger sister here, older sister sent me this. I feel the same.
    She was my best friend before she went to college. I feel like we have got a bit distant. She has a boyfriend now, works and has very little time. I wish i could be more present too.

    As the older brother to two younger sisters, I relate to this so hard. It hurts to see them grow up but knowing they’ll always have their big brother is hopefully a comfort to those beautiful young women❤

    Feel like John Lennon singing a version of this songs. That is to say it sounds like 60-70's bliss

    I think of this song often. Two daughters, 6 and 8. Wish I could freeze time some days, alas, not possible. I can't even get through Inside Out, "take her to the moon for me." I fall apart.

    Shout outs to the West Virginia tourism video for showing me this banger.

      🤣 I showed this song to my mom and I’m like, “yeah of all places, I heard it because West Virginia picked it for their ad.”

    This song great. I dedicate this song to my dog Lucy. She saved my life and I love her unconditionally. To me, this song is about Lucy and I.

    Why did I ether think this song was from ABBA?

      I think the OP is indicating they like this version better than the ABBA version.

    This musician sounds like the Beatles.I can tell that the sounds from both the Fab Four and this young singer are similar.
