Slipping Away Album: Greatest Hits Art: Richard Marx
I said I wouldn't cry The day you say goodbye It's not like I'll never see you again I guess the things you need You just can't get from me But you still can reach out to me now and then
My head is spinning round All my defenses down I have held the world in my hands But I can't keep you from slipping away
If time will show me grace And you to a better place Then I can live knowing it wasn't in vain It hurts so much to know when love means letting go And no one can tell me that they've felt my pain
No strength can stop you now Will someone show me how How to live it over again 'cause I can't keep you from slipping away
I will never break your power over me I could never shake the thought of you burning in my mind You're all I see
My head is spinning round All my defenses down I have held the world in my hands But I can't keep you from slipping away
Oh, I can't keep you from slipping away Oh, Slipping away
