Slipping Through My Fingers Lyrics
Artist(Band):Abba
Review The Song (40)Print the 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
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
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

Review about Slipping Through My Fingers

miss you, mom | Reviewer: bad-behaved son | 9/28/09

this song brings me back to my saddest memory, which is the scene my mom was slipping her fingers through my hair when she was treated cancer in hospital. I wish I could be at that time forever, I wish I never lost my mom. Mom, I miss you so much...

My tears choke me every time... | Reviewer: Marija | 9/16/09

I try to sing through this song. I am a mom of a 2-year old girl and am already sobbing for the future, because over the years she will need me less and less.
"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"
I will be crying the first day I have to leave her at the kindergarten, the first day of school, and can't even imagine how will I ever be able to let her go for her own good. This is a true guideline for mothers, thank you ABBA. Marija from Croatia



I love you Mom | Reviewer: Kate | 8/14/09

Thanks for this wonderful song...i really treasure the love and care of all the mothers in the world...like my mom, she's always there and her love for us never stop...i missed her a lot because i am now working far from home...but we both know, me and her, the precious memories we had when i was still young and headed for school, in fact she was even with me on the first 2 days of my first years in college and when i was entering the gate of the university i still wanted to go back and hold her to stay and be with me because i knew she will be going home in the village.
Ahhh..this song made me cry...but i really say to all the mothers in the world, "YOU ARE GREAT!"
And to my mom, i love you always and i will never slip through from your fingers...



Slipping through my fingers | Reviewer: Shellie Downie | 7/14/09

I have just found out that my Daughter is singing this in her leavers assembley at primary school as she is moving on to middle school. I have never heard of the song before I have just listened to it and im sobbing, my baby girl is growing up and i feel like im losing her



Amazing | Reviewer: Joanna | 4/24/09

I first listened to this song, when watching Mamma Mia, The Movie and i thought to myself 'Woah, this song can really reflect on life'
And even from this minute on, I still cry everytime i hear it and I think of all the people I've lost over the years.
Mum, if you're reading this.
I Love You and I'll Never Slip Through Your Fingers ! xx



Review | Reviewer: Samantha Morgan | 4/8/09

I adore this song it is one of my favourites, this song makes you want to stop taking things for granted. 'Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers' it my most favourite lines of all times, everytime i look at my son and daughter i wish i could do this.



Makes me sad and happy | Reviewer: Carrie | 3/16/09

My mum sang this to me on the night before my wedding 23 years ago and it still puts a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. I am lucky my mum is still with me and my own children, now 20 and 15, will hopefully have benefited from the words as I remembered them through the years.



Great song | Reviewer: umid | 3/11/09

Amazing song with truly touching words. It is one of the fewest life-guides especially for young parents like me.

Like many, I am reading comments for the first time, and for the first time I am posting here. I am doing also to thank you for sharing your stories, feelings, thoughts. Best wishes.



Slipping Through.. & Cats Cradle | Reviewer: Tricia | 3/8/09

Every parent should listen to Slipping Through My Fingers and Cat's Cradle at least once a week! What a reminder these two songs are for us all to STOP and take some time out of our busy lives to just BE with our children. Enjoy your children because time really does slip through our fingers!

The mom of a 12(g), 16(b) & 20(g) year old!
