ABBA — Slipping Through My Fingers / Me and I Live Dick Cavett Meets ABBA

Slipping Through My Fingers [Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture And save it from the funny tricks of time Slipping through my fingers [Interlude] [Outro] Slipping through my fingers all the time Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile Me and I [Verse 1] Sometimes when I'm mad There's a part of me that seems to be a little sad Sometimes when I scream There's a voice in me that says, "You shouldn't be so mean" Oh no, oh no Part of me is acting while the other stands beside Yes, I am to myself what Jekyll must have been to Hyde [Chorus] We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I [Post-Chorus] I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyone's a freak [Verse 2] Sometimes I have toyed With ideas that I got from good old Dr. Freud Nothing new of course It may seem to you I try to break through open doors Oh no, oh no I just wanna say a lot of that applies to me 'Cause it's an explanation to my split identity [Chorus] We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I [Post-Chorus] I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyone's a freak [Interlude] [Post-Chorus] I don't think I'm different or in any way unique Think about yourself for a minute And you'll find the answer in it Everyone's a freak [Chorus] We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I We're like sun and rainy weather Sometimes we're a hit together Me and I Gloomy moods and inspiration We're a funny combination Me and I
