It's slipping away from me

Se Me Está Escapando

She goes to school so happily nowElla se va tan feliz a la escuela ahora
Saying goodbye with an absent smileDiciendo adiós con ausente sonreír
There she goes, and I feel a sadness within meAllí se va y en mi siento una tristeza
Something that makes me perceiveAlgo que me hace percibir
It still belongs to me, but less soAun me pertenece, pero menos
In that world of her innocenceEn ese mundo de su candidez
Happy to still share her laughterFeliz de compartir aún su risa
And all of his childhoodY toda su niñez

It's slipping away from me as I grow upSe me está escapando al crecer
How can we make them stop?¿Cómo lograr que se detengan
Today, the minutes?Hoy los minutos?
It's slipping away from me as I grow upSe me está escapando al crecer
I will take care of your great fantasySu gran fantasía cuidaré
And as I discover itY cuando la voy descubriendo
It continues to growSigue creciendo
I know it's slipping away from meSe me está escapando ya lo sé

There is in both of them, she and I, a dream at breakfastHay en las dos ella y yo sueño al desayuno
And, without meaning to, I let time passY, sin querer, dejo el tiempo transcurrir
When she leaves, I feel melancholy within meCuando se va siento en mí la melancolía
A certain guilt that I don't know how to fakeCierta culpa que no sé fingir
Where are those adventures?¿Por dónde están aquellas aventuras
And what places were we going to see?Y los lugares que íbamos a ver?
We enjoyed a few thingsAlgunas pocas cosas disfrutamos
There is so much to doHay tanto por hacer

It's slipping away from me as I grow upSe me está escapando al crecer
How can we make them stop?¿Cómo lograr que se detengan
Today, the minutes?Hoy los minutos?
It's slipping away from me as I grow upSe me está escapando al crecer
I will take care of your great fantasySu gran fantasía cuidaré
And as I discover itY cuando la voy descubriendo
It continues to growSigue creciendo
I know it's slipping away from meSe me está escapando ya lo sé

If only I could freeze the imageSi yo pudiera congelar la imagen
Keep time and its whims within meGuardar el tiempo y su capricho en mí
It's slipping away from meSe me está escapando

I know it's slipping away from meSe me está escapando ya lo sé

She goes to school so happily nowElla se va tan feliz a la escuela ahora
Saying goodbye with an absent smileDiciendo adiós con ausente sonreír
