School-bag in hand,__
she leaves home__ in the ear-ly morn-ing,
wa-ving good-bye__
with an ab-sent-mind-ed smile.______
I watch her go with a surge___
of that well-known sad-ness,
and I have to sit down
for a while.
The feel-ing that I'm los-ing her for-ev-er
and with-out real-ly en-ter-ing her world.
I'm glad when-ev-er I can share her laugh-ter,
that fun-ny lit-tle girl.__
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time,__
I try to cap - ture ev-'ry min-ute,___
the feel-ing in it.
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time,__
do I real-ly see what's in her mind?_
Each time I think I'm close to know - ing____
she keeps on grow-ing.
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time.___
Sleep in our eyes,__
her and me___
at the break-fast ta-ble,
bare-ly a - wake,__
I let pre-cious time go by.___
Then when she's gone, there's that old__
mel-an-chol-y feel-ing
and a___ sense of guilt
I can't de-ny.
What hap-pened to the won-der-ful ad-ven-tures,
the plac-es I had planned for us to go?
Well, some of that we did,__
but most we did-n't
a why, I just don't know.__
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time,__
I try to cap - ture ev-'ry min - ute,____
the feel-ing in it.
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time,__
do I real-ly see what's in her mind?__
Each time I think I'm close to know - ing__
she keeps on grow-ing.
Slip-ping through my fin-gers all the time.__
Some-times I wish that I_______ could freeze___
the pic-ture
and save it from the fun-ny tricks of time.___
Slip-ping through my fin-gers.________
Interlude:
School-bag in hand,__
she leaves home
in the ear-ly morn-ing,
wav-ing good-bye
with an ab-sent-mind-ed smile....
