「SLIPPING THROUGH MY FINGERS」の歌詞 ORIGINAL LONDON CAST

【DONNA】
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
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
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
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
What happened to the
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 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
【DONNA & SOPHIE】
Sometimes I wish
That I could freeze the picture
And save it from
The funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
【DONNA】
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home
In the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent-minded smile
