Slipping Through My Fingers

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
拿上書包她在清晨離開
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
漫不經心地笑著向我揮手告別
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
目送著她離去莫名的憂傷湧上心頭
And I have to sit down for a while
我不得不坐下來一會
The feeling that Im losing her forever
那是永遠失去她的感覺
And without really entering her world
即使沒有真正地進入她的世界
Im glad whenever I can share her laughter
每當能夠分享她的喜悅我是多麼的高興
That funny little girl
那有趣的小女孩
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
I try to capture every minute
我試圖捕獲每分每秒裡
The feeling in it
那內心的感受
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫溜走
Do I really see whats in her mind
可我真的明白她的想法嗎
Each time I think Im close to knowing
每當我以為我快要知道了
She keeps on growing
她卻慢慢長大
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
睡眼朦朧清晨餐桌前的她和我
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
迷迷糊糊我竟讓這寶貴的時光流逝
Then when shes gone theres that odd melancholy feeling
然後她離開了我是如此地惆悵
And a sense of guilt I cant deny
還有無法否認的內疚
What happened to the wonderful adventures
那些奇妙的冒險是怎麼了
The places I had planned for us to go
那些我曾經計劃著我們要去的地方
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
（所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走）
Well, some of that we did but most we didnt
有些計劃實現了但更多的是沒有
And why I just dont know
為何會這樣我卻一臉茫然
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
I try to capture every minute
我試圖捕獲每分每秒裡
The feeling in it
那內心的感受
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Do I really see whats in her mind
可我真的明白她的想法嗎
Each time I think Im close to knowing
每當我以為我快要知道了
She keeps on growing
她卻慢慢長大
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
有時候我多麼希望可以讓那一刻凝固
And save it from the funny tricks of time
保存那些時光裡的嬉笑片刻
Slipping through my fingers
從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
拿上書包她在清晨離開
Waving goodbye with an absent- minded smile
漫不經心地笑著向我揮手告別
