Slipping Through My Fingers

她背上书包，就要在这清晨离开
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
漫不经心地笑着，向我挥手告别
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
目送着她离去，莫名的忧伤涌上心头

我不得不坐下来
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
那是永远失去她的感觉
And I have to sit down for a while
当她向我分享她的喜悦时我是多么的庆幸

可我未曾真正进入她的世界
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
多有趣的小女孩
And without really entering her world
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
我试图挽留与她在一起的每一刻
That funny little girl
沉浸其中的感受

所有的时光从我的指缝溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
我总是以为我了解她
I try to capture every minute
可我真的明白她的想法吗
The feeling in it
她就这样不断地长大
Slipping through my fingers all the time
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走
Do I really see what's in her mind
那些睡眼朦胧坐在餐桌前的清晨
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
迷迷糊糊之间我竟让这宝贵的时光流逝
She keeps on growing
当她走后我是如此的惆怅
Slipping through my fingers all the time
还有无法否认的内疚

我曾计划着我们要去的每个地方
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
想象着精彩的旅途中发生的事
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走

但太多的计划我都没有带她去实现
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
为何我如此糊涂
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走

我试图挽留和她在一起的每一刻
What happened to the wonderful adventures
沉浸其中的感觉
The places I had planned for us to go
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
我总是以为我了解她
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
可我真的明白她的想法吗
And why I just don't know
她就这样不断地长大

所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
我多么希望可以让这一刻凝固
I try to capture every minute
保存下时光里那些嬉笑的片刻
The feeling in it
所有的时光从我的指缝偷偷溜走
Slipping through my fingers all the time
她背上书包，就要在清晨离开
Do I really see what's in her mind
漫不经心地笑着，向我挥手告别
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~
