Mamma Mia (Start) Slipping Through My Fingers (33 sec)

I was cheated by you Schoolbag in hand And I think you know when. She leaves home in the early morning So I made up my mind, it must come to an Waving goodbye end With an absent-minded smile Look at me now, will I ever learn? I watch her go I don't know how but I suddenly lose control With a surge of that well-known sadness There's a fire within my soul And I have to sit down for a while Just one look and I can hear a bell ring The feeling that I'm loosing her forever One more look and I forget everything And without really entering her world I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter Mamma mia, here I go again That funny little girl My my, how can I resist you? Mamma mia, does it show again Slipping through my fingers all the time My My, just how much I've missed you? I try to capture every minute Yes, I've been broken-hearted The feeling in it Blue since the day we parted Slipping through my fingers all the time Why, why did I ever let you go? Do I really see what's in her mind Mamma mia, now I really know Each time I think I'm close to knowing My my, I should not have let you go She keeps on growing Slipping through my fingers all the time Sophie Sheridan

(2:51)

No more carefree laughter Where are those happy days? Silence ever after They seem so hard to find Walking through an empty house I try to reach for you Tears in my eyes But you have closed your mind This is how the story ends Whatever happened to our love? This is goodbye I wish I understood It used to be so nice Knowing me, knowing you It used to be so good There is nothing we can do Knowing me, knowing you So when you're near me We just have to face it Darling can't you hear me? This time we're through S.O.S Breaking up is never easy, I know The love you gave me But I have to go Nothing else can save me Knowing me, knowing you S.O.S It's the best I can do When you're gone How can I even try to go on? When you're gone Though I try, how can I carry on?

Sky Lay Your Love on Me (Start)

I wasn't jealous before we met Now every man that I see is a potential threat And I'm possessive, it isn't nice You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice But now it isn't true Now everything is new And all I've learned Has overturned I beg of you Don't go wasting your emotion Lay all your love on me
