Slipping Through My Fingers

她背上書包，就要在這清晨離開
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
漫不經心地笑著，向我揮手告別
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
目送著她離去，莫名的憂傷湧上心頭

我不得不坐下來
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
那是永遠失去她的感覺
And I have to sit down for a while
當她向我分享她的喜悅時我是多麼的慶幸

可我未曾真正進入她的世界
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
多有趣的小女孩
And without really entering her world
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
我試圖挽留與她在一起的每一刻
That funny little girl
沉浸其中的感受

所有的時光從我的指縫溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
我總是以為我了解她
I try to capture every minute
可我真的明白她的想法嗎
The feeling in it
她就這樣不斷地長大
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 what's in her mind
那些睡眼朦朧坐在餐桌前的清晨
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
迷迷糊糊之間我竟讓這寶貴的時光流逝
She keeps on growing
當她走後我是如此的惆悵
Slipping through my fingers all the time
還有無法否認的內疚

我曾計劃著我們要去的每個地方
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
想像著精彩的旅途中發生的事
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走

但太多的計劃我都沒有帶她去實現
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
為何我如此糊塗
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走

我試圖挽留和她在一起的每一刻
What happened to the wonderful adventures
沉浸其中的感覺
The places I had planned for us to go
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
我總是以為我了解她
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
可我真的明白她的想法嗎
And why I just don't know
她就這樣不斷地長大

所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
我多麼希望可以讓這一刻凝固
I try to capture every minute
保存下時光裡那些嬉笑的片刻
The feeling in it
所有的時光從我的指縫偷偷溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
她背上書包，就要在清晨離開
Do I really see what's in her mind
漫不經心地笑著，向我揮手告別
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
END
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

~End~
