Slipping Through My Fingers

C         Cm               G           Bm           C 
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning 
           Cm           G              Bm  C 
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile 
            Cm          G              Bm              C 
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness 
                   D            G  
And I have to sit down for a while 

       C                D         G     B 
The feeling that I'm losing her forever 
       C                D         G  
And without really entering her world 
       C          D               G 
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter 
       D           G 
That funny little girl 

    G                C                G 
Slipping through my fingers all the time 
            Bm           Am 
I try to capture every minute 
      C         G 
The feeling in it 
    G                 D               G 
Slipping through my fingers all the time
