I watched the movie “Mama Mia” few days ago at cinema. I love the movie so much. Just simple story line but with many lovely songs. as well as beautiful casts such as Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Julie Walters and many more. It’s really a good movie! I am touched by this particular song “Slipping Through My fingers”.
If you read the lyrics carefully and listen to the song, do you get any message? It really a song for all parents in the world. A song about a mother that sees how much her daughter has grown up on her wedding day. Her once little girl is now preparing to get married and start her own family. At the same time, she recalls that there are so many things they have not done together.
There are times that we have regrets in our live that we did not do or we can do much better but never grab the opportunity that we have had. Our child grows every day and believe me, they grow fast! If we keep telling ourselves that we are busy and we still have plenty of time to be with our child in future, we are definitely making huge mistake in our life. We miss out lots of time to grow with our child. By the time you realize, their childhood has slipped through our fingers and we can go back time. Stop giving yourself excuses, but do spend time with your child and involve in his life! Learn together and grow together! Maybe I am too sentiment, my tears rolled down when I heard the song.

School bag 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
loosin her forever
and without really
entering her world
I’m glad whenever I
can share her laughter
that funny little girl
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 places I had
planned for us to go
well some of that we did
but most we didn’t and why I just don’t know
Slipping through my fingers…
Sometimes I wish
that I could freeze
the picture
and save it from
the funny tricks of time
Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home
in the early morning
waving goodbye
with an absent-minded smile
