Mamma Mia! | Slipping Through My Fingers

Try to capture every minute of this touching moment as Donna (Meryl Streep) helps Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) get ready for her wedding day. Although Donna must wave goodbye to her daughter with an absent-minded smile, you can “freeze the picture” on ABBA’s emotional hit, “Slipping Through My Fingers.”

Film Synopsis:
Sophie has just one wish to make her wedding perfect: to have her father walk her down the aisle. Now she just has to find out who he is... Join the music, laughter and fun of the irresistibly charming Mamma Mia! The Movie. Academy Award®-winner Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast, including Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth - as well as up-and-comers Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper, in this musical celebration of mothers, daughters and fathers, and true loves lost and new ones found. Based on the Broadway smash-hit and filled with the ABBA songs you know and love, it's the feel-good experience that will have you singing and dancing over and over again.

This song always makes me think of walking my daughter to school at age 6 or 7. We got near the entrance, she was holding my hand, and she said to me, ”I hate leaving you”, then she said “bye” and skipped away like it was no big deal. Her senior year of high school she chose to sing this song at her senior recital. I wish I had recording. It was so precious, She is so precious.

I cry whenever I hear this song. Meryl Streep is unbelievable

[Victorian_Ghosty]

Me my sister and my mom watched this movie, both me and my sister started quietly crying and our mom was so confused she asked why we were crying and we said “cause we love you” and then she started sobbing and we all sobbed for a while. Lovely time

The part when Sophie and Donna sing together is the part that always makes me cry. That always blows my heart away.

[SpookieHoochie]

Hearing this song as a Mom hits different

[celly]

The painting toe nails scene always makes me smile. Looks so cute.

Other girls think of having their bridesmaids and makeup artists getting them ready, but this is the most perfect thing I can even think of. Simple, and so beautiful.

[gadger]

Meryl and Amanda are incredible in this scene ❤

[godssemble]

i remember i never used to understand why my mum cried at this scene but now i can't even listen to the song or read the lyrics without bawling my eyes out 😭😭 i'm turning 17 this year and it seems like time is passing by so fast, i'm not ready to grow up

[patticrichton]

I know that this song is for a mother and daughter, but I had no daughers, I had 3 sons, and the FEELING for ME is the SAME for my 3 sons (who are all grown and now in their mid/late 40s, and my eldest turned 50 in 2023. I STILL can relate to the words in this song, as they fit for me as well for my boys as they grew up and went out on their own. I LOVE this movie and CRY during this song EVERY TIME.

I don't know if you all understand the weight of this scene of Donna getting her daughter ready for the wedding. It's not just about marriage, it's about looking back and seeing that yout little girl of yours finally grew up and became the most charming and incredible woman in the world! And, as the song says, you wish you had gone to more places than you planned, some you can do and some you can't and we just don't know why. I'm not a mother, but I'm a middle sister, so I always find myself crying when I see that my girls have grown up, the oldest is even married! So this scene has a lot of weight, both for mothers and daughters and I LOVE how in the second film, Donna appears singing "My love, My life" and shows that she would never leave her daughter behind.

this makes me cry because i have always have a fear of losing my mom.

[ivyjoyleonida]

Mother's love is irreplaceable.. I tried not to cry but this scene is so wonderful it touches deep in my heart..😢❤

[tearsncolors]

this had me crying for atleast a few hours, i miss my wholesome relationship with my mother.

[XLilJayX]

I’m a single parent and this song always makes me cry but always so proud of my daughter ❤

[hemlockbaby]

I cry whenever I hear this song. It makes me think of my mom and how much we drifted as I got older. She used to sing it to me.

[fauzianalwoga]

My mom was born in 79 and grew up watching Abba. Can't believe we never got a chance to see this movie together because she's now dead

[trudieconroy]

It’s Mother’s Day I’m watching mama Mia then as usual this song. I’m crying I see my mom crying in the front yard watching school kids coming home. She said she missed us being that age made her heart hurt. I think back of my daughter her favorite place was in my arms or holding onto my leg cuddling on the couch and I cry. I see my daughter and granddaughter so close and I know some day soon her heart will ache for her little girl that grown.

[miriammifetoo]

This song makes me a bit sad sometimes, I wish I was this close to my mum. I hope my daughter and I have this kind of relationship though
