Bb Schoolbag in Bbm hand she leaves F home in the early morning
Bb Waving goodBbmbye with an F absent minded Asus4 smile
Bb I watch her Bbm go with a F surge of that well known sadness
Bb And I have to C sit down for a C7sus4 while F
The Bb feeling that I'm C losing her forFever A
And Bb without really C entering her F world
I'm Bb glad whenever C I can share her F laughter
That C funny little C7sus4 girl F
Chorus
Slipping through my Gm7 fingers all the F time
I try to Am capture every Gm minute the feeling F in it
Slipping through my Csus4 fingers C all the F time
Do I really Csus4 see what's C in her F mind
Each time I Am think I'm close to Gm knowing
She keeps on F growing
Slipping through my Csus4 fingers C all the F time
Bb Sleep in our Bbm eyes her and F me at the breakfast table
Bb Barely aBbmwake I let F precious time go Asus4 by
Bb Then when she's Bbm gone there's that F odd melancholy feeling
Bb And a sense of C guilt I can't denC7sus4y F
What Bb happened to the C wonderful adFventures A
The Bb places I had C planned for us to F go
Well Bb some of that we C did but most we F didn't
And C why I just don't C7sus4 know F
Chorus
SomeBbtimes I wish that C I could freeze the F picture A
And Bb save it from the C funny tricks of F time
Slipping through my Bb fingers C....
Instrumental chorus
Bb Schoolbag in Bbm hand she leaves F home in the early morning
