Slipping Through My Fingers…
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 loosing 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
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
Happy 17th Birthday to my
♥never-to-be-sweet-16-again girl♥

My girls think that this is the corniest song off of the “Mama Mia” soundtrack. I’ll give them another 20+ years…I think they’ll ‘get it’.
