Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA (Lyrics)

lyrics

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

As a daughter. Hearing this song always hurts. I wish my mom. No. My parents. Would've held me a little tighter. Held me when I cried. Instead of yelling. I know this is about a mother. But as a child it always feel like I let them slip through my fingers. And that they'll never love me how they did when I was a kid.

I'm not going to let that happen to me. Even if I don't have kids. I'll let any little kid who I interact with know. That they are loved. My bfs little brothers. His son. My little cousins. I don't want them to cry how I do. So I'll give them the love I never got.

I can’t listen to this song without crying - it takes me back through all the precious years I spent with my beautiful daughter, Olivia, who was born 41 years ago today. How quickly those years flew by……and what I wouldn’t give to have them back. If only we could freeze the picture….

[rita]

This song always makes me cry I love my mom so much I know we struggled but she did her best and I'm so thankful for her ♥️

[snndrsannie]

Me to my daughter who's now grown. We didn't have that much time to bond cause I'm a single mother then and i need to work a lot. Now she's turning 17 😢

[alvinng]

I am a proud single father to my girl. She is my world. I cry everytime I listen to this song. Happy to see her grow up fast and healthy but sometimes I wish I can freeze the time.😭😭😭😭😭

[Loreleei_]

I will sing this song to my three years old daughter, her father, my fiance passed away just this month. I will be strong for her, even though I'm still hurting myself.

[lew]

Beautiful words that make me cry. The words of this song ring so true. As a single mother, I hope to dance to this with my daughter at her wedding someday, if that's what God has for her future ❤

[Emzoe]

Currently planning my wedding and I'm using this for my father-daughter dance. We lost my mom when I was 14 and ABBA was one of my favorite bands. I get to have a little of her in this dance with us❤

Suatu masa, rumah akan sunyi. Anak2 akan berada jauh mencari ilmu dan akhirnya mencari kehidupan dan menjalani kehidupan masing2. Tiada lagi tangisan dan pelukan manja dari mereka seperti sebelumnya. Sunyi. Sebab tu aku simpan dlm hati nurani, aku nak sentiasa hiburkan anak2 aku bermain dengan diorang, peluk mereka, sentiasa dengar keluhan dan omongan mereka, sentiasa ingin berada di sisi mereka meluangkan masa berharga melihat mereka membesar. Ya Allah, aku bersyukur atas segala rezekimu. Permudahkanlah urusan kami dan anak2 kami ya Allah.. tetapkanlah iman kami Ya Allah.. aminn..

[yusrilkawah]

gatau, kalo denger lagu ini selalu keinget masa msa kecil yg masih bahagia di manjain ortu dan ga mikir apa apa and damn senyum pada saat itu bukan senyum palsu kaya sekarang.

This song always makes me think of my little sister, she’s my world.
Sometimes I think everyone would be better off with me dead, then I remember her, and this song, and everything kinda just slows down.
It’s so odd that someone so tiny can have such a big impact on someone.

[makyu]

I think this song is capable to make everyone cry. Those who have a loving mum, going "Damn, I love my mum so much. I wanna give her a hug" for thankfulness, and those who don’t, who goes "Damn, I want a mum who cares that much about me, I wanna be this loved by her" for sadness and a certain anger. And not to mention the "I miss my mum so much, I wish I could see her just one more time" of those whose mum is not in this world. It’s such a heartbreakingly beautiful song.

[normaescobar]

That is the song that I will love to sing on my daughter, on her wedding day!! I love my only daughter!!!

[ReaBaksh]

Makes me think of my little sister, shes growing everyday ❤

[mariloucolvera]

I really missed my mom. Masaya kana ngayn mama ko no more pain na. Kasama kana ni Lord 😢😢😢 Badly missed u.

[I_would_intercept_me]

im listening to this April 24th, 2024, about a month and a half until i have to say goodbye to my friends forever, i understand what this song is about, it hits so different seeing the growth me and my friends have been through, the pain, the happy moments, the sleepovers, the laughs, the time in school, all relates to this song, if i had one message to the world it would definitely be take your time, don't rush or you'll miss the whole process of finding people who you'll always remember

[ilovecats]

currently in the car sobbing my eyes out. i was recently accepted into some colleges down in south cali, which is pretty far from home. i was excited to go there and experience college and finally grow. but the thought of leaving my mom behind kills me, i could never do that. i’d miss her voice and her smile every single fucking day. a few months ago, i told her i wanted to go to this college across the country and although she supported my decision and said she was proud, that night she sent me a text when she thought i was asleep. “I’ll miss you so so much, I love u”. i could never leave her.

[robpl]

listening to this music feels like i have children already, makes my heart ache so bad.

[maryjoywasawas]

I crying right now 😭 I really missed her so much. May rest in peace 🕊️
