A beautiful song from their last album "The Visitors".

Lyrics:

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 Im
loosing her forever
and without really
entering her world
Im 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 whats
in her mind
each time I think
Im 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 shes gone
theres that odd
melancholy feeling
and a a sense of
guilt I cant 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 didnt
and why I just dont 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 whats
in her mind
each time I think
Im close to knowing
she keeps on growing
slipping through my fingers
all the time

Sometimes I wish
that I could freeze
the picture
and save it from
the funny tricks of time
slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile

  • Very emotive song,qiute sad but beautiful & the slideshow goes really well with the song.

  • Thank you.

  • I didn't know that it was ABBA's song for a long time. Now I know and I'm truly surprised that it didn't turn out to be as popular as many other songs by this group.

    The lyrics remind me of "This woman's work".

  • Thank you!
