Karaoké Slipping Through My Fingers Mamma Mia! (film)

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early mornin'

Wavin' 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 feelin' that I'm losin' her forever

And without really enterin' 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 feelin' 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 knowin' she keeps on growin'

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 feelin'

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 feelin' 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 knowin' she keeps on growin'

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers

Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early mornin'

Wavin' goodbye with an absent-minded smile
