[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)
