Slipping Through My Fingers(1981, 2008)Merly Streep & Amanda Seyfried

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 firl

 

*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 plaoces 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

 

Repeat *

 

Sometimes I wish that I couild freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers

 

Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

 

 

 

surge   밀려들다

Barely   가까스로

precious  time  귀한 시간

pest    해충

even   심지어

 

yet    아직 (평설문,  부정)

                  의문문 (긍정)

 

    그러나  (but)

 

stir   젓다

gratitude  걈사
