Paige, Poses and Pics

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
Sometimes I wish I could freeze the picture
And save it from the tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers
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 old melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't And why I just don't know
Schoolbag in hand she leaves home
in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
Slipping through my fingers all the time.
-ABBA
I feel this way about all my children...
Where does the time go...?
