Slipping Away
Jim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My eyes are closed and yet I see
You're slipping away from me
Someone else's new charms
Are you're reason to his arms.

My lips are sealed but my heart knows
A love for someone else in your heart grows
I'm holding you're love that just can't be
You're slipping away from me.

A precious love that used to be
It's slipping away from me
And I already miss
The thrill that was in your kiss.

I know I'm loving you in vain
With all to lose and nothing left to gain




I'll soon be living with the memory
You're slipping away from me...
