Lyrics:
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 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
āāāā

I swear to god I kept hearing this thinking it was a Beatles song the past few weeks. Gorgeous voice, so happy to hear something so nostalgic yet new. Beautiful.

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 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 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
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, she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile.

I feel like the ABBA original would be good for the opening of a movie or series, and this one would be perfect for an ending song as the camera pans out or something :)

Declan is the 80's icon we never knew we needed

It brought tears to my eyes. This version is perfect for a movie or series.

I had a friend from university that unfortunately passed away during my time there. I knew her for maybe a little under two years and in all that time, the person i knew was so kindhearted and joyful, no matter the situation she would smile infectiously. She gave me a tour of where she was staying on campus, she did cheerleading and was truly passionate about it. I always sat next to her in class and she made me feel less alone as a new student. This song was the song her family used for her as she passed, unfortunately due to an unexpected illness that became terminal. I donāt know how to put it into words but this cover, as someone who already is a fan of declanās work, really hits home with me and will now be a special song to help me keep her in my memory. The person i knew was truly one of the kindest people iāve ever met and i can only hope sheās at peace knowing that many people miss her and cherished her for as long as we got š

I listen to this song every night, imagining my comfort fatherās voice singing this to me as I am falling asleep. In another universe my own father loves me and things arenāt bitter between us.

What a voice, to be able to take a pre existing song and put so much emotion into it

I plan on dancing to the version at my wedding one day during the father daughter dance. This song is so beautiful and describes growing up so well, it brings me to tears every time I listen.

Oh Declan McKenna. Good morning! Thank you. I spent all night awake for no reason. I grew up with you. I love my boyfriend. I'm glad I caught this so early. Everyone who reads, you have a good day now.

When I first heard this song I thought it was a Beatles song I'd never heard before. Actually I thought it was George Harrison.
So happy to have stumbled on this band!

I lost my dad in September 2023 to kidney failure. He would always drive me to spectacularly beautiful places in the UK, most commonly Thors cave. The next time I go there, I will return alone. Love you dad, and thank you for all the memories we made togetherā¦
