L'ottava nota

Come eravamo......


Perchè quando sento questa canzone, mi commuovo e penso ad un dolce tempo che non c'è più e che purtroppo non potrà tornare.Dedicato alle mie figlie, troppo ormai lontane dal ricordo di essere due piccole bambine....     Slipping Through My FingersSchoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morningWaving goodbye with an absent-minded smileI watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadnessAnd I have to sit down for a whileThe feeling that I'm losing her foreverAnd without really entering her worldI'm glad whenever I can share her laughterThat funny little girlSlipping through my fingers all the timeI try to capture every minuteThe feeling in itSlipping through my fingers all the timeDo I really see what's in her mindEach time I thinkI'm close to knowing she keeps on growingSlipping through my fingers all the timeSleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast tableBarely awake, I let precious time go byThen when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feelingAnd a sense of guilt I can't denyWhat happened to the wonderful adventuresThe places I had planned for us to go  Well, some of that we did but most we didn'tAnd why I just don't know***Slipping through my fingers all the timeI try to capture every minuteThe feeling in itSlipping through my fingers all the timeDo I really see what's in her mindEach time I think I'm close to knowingShe keeps on growingSlipping through my fingers all the timeSometimes I wish that I could freeze the pictureAnd save it from the funny tricks of timeSlipping through my fingers...Slipping through my fingers all the timeSchoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morningWaving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...***** Qualcosa insieme abbiamo fatto, ma il più non l'abbiamo fatto e non so spiegarmi il perchè........Mi scivola via tra le dita continuamente.....Cerco di catturare ogni momento.........Mi scivola via tra le dita continuamente.............
