[00:00.00]Slipping Through My Fingers / Me And I (Live From Dick Cavett Meets Abba, Sveriges Television / 1981) - ABBA
[00:20.57]Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
[00:28.62]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[00:36.89]I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
[00:44.45]And I have to sit down for a while
[00:50.88]The feeling that I'm losing her forever
[00:57.39]And without really entering her world
[01:04.46]I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
[01:10.02]That funny little girl
[01:14.26]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:17.37]I try to capture every minute
[01:22.27]The feeling in it
[01:24.51]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:27.68]Do I really see what's in her mind
[01:30.95]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[01:36.06]She keeps on growing
[01:38.31]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[01:44.50]Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast table
[01:52.22]Barely awake I let precious time go by
[02:00.18]Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling
[02:07.40]And a sense of guilt I can't deny
[02:14.09]What happened to the wonderful adventures
[02:20.96]The places I had planned for us to go
[02:25.59](Slipping through my fingers all the time)
[02:28.34]Well some of that we did but most we didn't
[02:33.45]And why I just don't know
[02:37.94]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:40.94]I try to capture every minute
[02:46.25]The feeling in it
[02:48.62]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[02:51.99]Do I really see what's in her mind
[02:55.15]Each time I think I'm close to knowing
[03:00.33]She keeps on growing
[03:02.77]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:06.88]Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
[03:13.78]And save it from the funny tricks of time
[03:18.65]Slipping through my fingers
[03:47.22]Slipping through my fingers all the time
[03:53.53]Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
[04:02.25]Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
[04:56.99]Sometimes when I'm mad
[04:58.36]There's a part of me
[04:59.87]That seems to be a little sad
[05:02.92]Sometimes when I scream
[05:04.48]There's a voice in me that says
[05:06.54]"You shouldn't be so mean"
[05:08.54]Oh no oh no
[05:15.27]Part of me is acting
[05:17.10]While the other stands beside
[05:19.47]Yes I am to myself
[05:20.91]What Jekyll must have been to Hyde
[05:25.86]We're like sun and rainy weather
[05:27.86]Sometimes we're a hit together
[05:29.83]Me and I
[05:33.91]Gloomy moods and inspiration
[05:36.02]We're a funny combination
[05:38.14]Me and I
[05:42.19]I don't think I'm different
[05:43.97]Or in any way unique
[05:46.39]Think about yourself for a minute
[05:48.64]And you'll find the answer in it
[05:50.66]Everyone's a freak
[06:09.19]Sometimes I have toyed
[06:10.56]With ideas that I got
[06:12.38]From good old Dr Freud
[06:15.27]Nothing new of course
[06:16.72]It may seem to you
[06:18.27]I try to break through open doors
[06:20.83]Oh no oh no
[06:27.87]I just wanna say
[06:28.97]A lot of that applies to me
[06:31.64]'Cause it's an explanation
[06:33.33]To my split identity
[06:38.06]We're like sun and rainy weather
[06:40.06]Sometimes we're a hit together
[06:42.24]Me and I
[06:46.29]Gloomy moods and inspiration
[06:48.29]We're a funny combination
[06:50.35]Me and I
[06:54.85]I don't think I'm different
[06:56.41]Or in any way unique
[06:58.83]Think about yourself for a minute
[07:01.01]And you'll find the answer in it
[07:03.38]Everyone's a freak
[07:21.81]I don't think I'm different
[07:23.38]Or in any way unique
[07:25.88]Think about yourself for a minute
[07:27.87]And you'll find the answer in it
[07:30.25]Everyone's a freak
[07:32.25]We're like sun and rainy weather
[07:34.31]Sometimes we're a hit together

[07:44.68]Me and I
