Lirik Slipping Through My Fingers ABBA, Bercerita Tentang Kesedihan Seorang Ibu

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
