Slipping Through My Fingers

She leaves so cheerfully for school now
saying goodbye with an absent smile
she goes and I feel a sadness in me
something that makes me realize
 
She's still mine, but less so
in that innocent world
(I am losing her)
happy to share her smile
and all her childhood
 
Am I losing her as she grows?
How can I slow down
the minutes of today?
 
I am losing her as she grows
I'll take care of her great fantasy
and as I go discovering it...
she keeps growing
 
I am losing her, that I know
There is in us both, her and I, sleepiness at breakfast
and, without wanting to, I let the time slip past
When she goes I feel in myself this melancholy
that I can't deny
 
Where are those adventures
and those places that we will see?
(I am losing her as she grows)
We take pleasure in so little
there is so much to do
Am I losing her as she grows?
 
How can I slow down
the minutes of today?
I am losing her as she grows
I'll take care of her great fantasy
and as I go discovering it...
she keeps growing
I am losing her, that I know
 
If I could freeze that image
keep safe the time and its whimsy in me
(I am losing her)
I am losing her as she grows
She leaves so cheerfully for school now
saying goodbye with an absent smile
