Slipping through my fingers　　ABBA

Slipping through my fingers　　ABBA

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 (*)

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

從我指縫間流逝　　阿巴合唱團

提著書包，她在清晨離開了家
揮手道別，以一個敷衍的笑容
望著她離去，心底有股熟悉的憂傷
我得坐下來歇一會兒
感覺到我就要永遠失去她了
而且我從來沒有真的進入過她的世界
我很高興隨時可以分享她的笑容
........那個古靈精怪的小女孩

時光總是從我指縫間流逝
我試著留住每一寸光陰
這當下的感覺
時光總是從我指縫間流逝
我真的了解她心裡在想什麼嗎？
每一次我以為就快要弄懂了
她卻又長大了
時光總是從我指縫間流逝

早餐桌上，我和她睡眼惺忪
幾乎很少清醒著，我讓這段寶貴的時光白白溜走
然後，當她離開家門
那怪異而憂傷的情緒
和一種揮之不去的罪惡感油然而生
那奇幻的冒險旅程是怎麼回事？
早計畫好兩人同遊的地方呢？
( 時光總是從我指縫間流逝 )
嗯........有些事已完成，但大部分都沒有做
為何我都不知道呢？

有時候，我希望能凍結這幅畫面
在時光可笑的惡作劇中儲存起來
時光從我指縫間流逝

時光總是從我的指縫間流逝

提著書包，她在清晨離開了家
揮手道別，以一個心不在焉的笑容
