S1:

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

B1:

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

R1:

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

S2:

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

B2:

What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go (slipping through my fingers all the time)
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

B3:

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time, slipping through my fingers
