Slipping through my fingers

Sigo sin acentos...

Hoy estoy tontona. Por la mañana me han hecho una endodoncia y por la tarde Laia y su padre se han ido a comprar unos zapatos de verano, una excusa como otra cualquiera para que yo estuviese en casa tranquila, por si me dolia mucho la muela y se me hacia cuesta arriba estar con los dos churumbeles. Y es cierto que me duele a pesar del ibuprofeno, pero mira por donde, no dejo de pensar en mi nena. Y eso, como estoy tontona me he acordado de esta cancion de Abba. Se esta haciendo tan mayor... tan rapido...


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 losing 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 sense of guilt I cant deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
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...

Slipping through my fingers all the time

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