Slipping Through My Fingers piano leadsheet with chords

School bag in hand,

she leaves home in the ear ly morn ing,

wav ing good bye with an ab sent mind ed smile.

I watch her go with a surge of that well known sad ness,

and I have to sit down for a while.

The feel ing that I'm los ing her for ev er

and with out real ly en ter ing her world.

I'm glad when ev er I can share her laugh ter,

that fun ny lit tle girl.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time,

I try to cap ture ev 'ry min ute,

the feel ing in it.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time,

do I real ly see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to know ing

she keeps on grow ing.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time.

Sleep in our eyes,

her and me at the break fast ta ble,

bare ly a wake, I let pre cious time go by.

Then when she's gone, there's that old mel an chol y feel ing and a sense of guilt I can't de ny.

What hap pened to the won der ful ad ven tures,

the plac es I had planned for us to go?

Well, some of that we did,

but most we did n't and why,

I just don't know.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time,

I try to cap ture ev 'ry min ute,

the feel ing in it.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time,

do I real ly see what's in her mind?

Each time I think I'm close to know ing she keeps on grow ing.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time.

Some times I wish that I could freeze the pic ture

and save it from the fun ny tricks of time.

Slip ping through my fin gers.

Slip ping through my fin gers all the time.

School bag in hand,

she leaves home in the ear ly morn ing,

wav ing good bye with an ab sent mind ed smile.
