作曲：Declan McKenna
Schoolbag in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye
With an absent minded smile
I watch her go
With the surge of that well known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
Oh I'll never 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 the sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to our 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
Sometimes I wish that I could phrase the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
School back in hand
She leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an upset minded smile
