meryl streep - slipping through my fingers كلمات الأغنية

[donna]
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

[donna & female company]
what happened to those 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

[donna & female company]
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

(instrumental)

[sophie, spoken]
do you think i’m letting you down?

[donna, spoken]
why would you even think that?

[sophie, spoken]
oh, because of what you’ve done. i mean, the dynamos, raising a kid, and running a business all on your own

[donna, spoken]
well, honey, i didn’t have a choice. i couldn’t go home. you know? when i got pregnant, my mother told me not to bother coming back, and i wouldn’t have it any other way. my god, look at what we’ve had!

[sophie, spoken]
will you give me away?

[donna, spoken]
yeah

[donna/, sophie & female company]
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)

- meryl streep
