slipping through my fingers...

When I saw Mamma Mia (twice!) this summer...I fell in love with the lyrics to this song - I must have missed it when it was an Abba song. I know it's written about a little girl, but I changed the she's to he's, and thought I'd post the lyrics with my boys "off to school" photo.

It's a melancholy day for me today...first day of school - nobody wanted me to walk them...and Parker's 12th birthday...just feeling like the time is flying by...

Slipping Through My Fingers...

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 whats in his mind
Each time I think Im close to knowing
He 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 he leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...
