Slipping through my fingers - Mamma Mia the movie (lyrics)

Streep Meryl & Amanda Seyfried - Slipping Through My Fingers 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 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 odd 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

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

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

Im getting married tomorrow and me and my mum will be dancing to this on my wedding day i love my mum so much more than anyhing in the whole world. The bond between a mother and daughter is much greater than any other relationship in the world. They brought us into this world and they guide us throught all our troubles and also our victories in life. I love you mum with all my heart and nothing will ever change that our bond is stronger than anything else, nothing compares or ever will.

Damn I LOVE that woman<3

This song will allways make me remember you mum. I hope you are having fun in heaven. Love you xxx

[LaurenES95]

This movie will forever make me remember my granny. We must have seen it together a dozen times. She practically raised me from birth and she meant everything to me. I lost her on December 12, 2011, and on my wedding day I will listen to this song and wish my true mother was there.

[truewhimsical]

At my wedding, I'm going to sing this to my mum. :')
