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 my mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Deep 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
That's why we take the pick of summertime
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
